  • Automation of HTML pages with connectHTML
    With the  View command one can display an internet page within an SAP screen or as a separate window. A new feature (connectHTML statement) now allows us to automate the displayed page, e.g. to fill in entry fields or to click on buttons. You can also read values from internet pages.

Example: You add a button to an SAP screen that, when clicked, starts the display of an internet page, fills in a company name, and clicks a button on the internet page that displays a financial statement for the selected company.
