Input Method
Description

Arguments
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| DataSheet |
Required. A String value. The name of the input data sheet containing the data for the grid. |
| ScrollMethod |
Optional. A tagSCROLL_METHOD Value. The keyboard key that OpenText Functional Testing uses to scroll or add rows to the grid if the input data sheet includes rows that exceed the number of rows currently displayed in the application. Possible values: 82 or PAGEDOWN: (default) Sends a Page Down key command to scroll the grid. 0 or ENTER: Sends an Enter key command to scroll the grid. For details on when to use this argument, refer to the "Automatically parameterizing table and grid cell values" topic in the SAP Solutions Add-in section of the OpenText Functional Testing Help Center. Default value = micPageDown |
Return Type
None.
IMPORTANT
This method is recorded only if the Auto-parameterize table and grid controls option is selected in the SAP pane of the Options dialog box.
When the Auto-parameterize table and grid controls option is selected, an Input statement is recorded each time new or modified grid cell data is sent to the SAP server. The statement represents all cell values that were set prior to sending the data to the server.
For each recorded Input method, a corresponding input data sheet is automatically inserted in the test's Data Table as a sub-sheet of the action data sheet containing the recorded cell values. Columns are added to the data sheet only for cells containing input data.
Once the new input data sheet has been created by recording the Input statement, you can add or modify the data set, and add additional data sets for each action iteration.
During the test run, this method inserts the values from the input data sheet specified by the SheetName argument into the grid.
During each action iteration, the values of all cells in the relevant data set of the input data sheet are inserted into the grid according to the row position and column name.
Notes:
You must record the Input method using the Auto-parameterize table and grid controls option to create the input data sheet. You cannot create the required input data sheet manually.
A SelectCell method is automatically recorded after each Input statement.
When the Auto-parameterize table and grid controls option is not selected, a SetCellData statement is recorded for each value you set in a grid cell.
For a detailed explanation of how to work with the Input statement and how to edit or add data sets to the input data sheet, refer to the SAP Solutions Add-in section of the OpenText Functional Testing Help Center.
Example
Input Data into a Cell (VBScript)
'The following example uses the Input method to insert the data set from the "Action1.IgridCtrl"
'input data sheet into the appropriate cells in the "IgridCtrl" grid. If the action runs multiple iterations,
'the corresponding data set is used in each iteration.
SAPGuiSession("Session").SAPGuiWindow("Planning Book: [Live]").SAPGuiAPOGrid("IgridCtrl").Input "Action1.IgridCtrl"
SAPGuiSession("Session").SAPGuiWindow("Planning Book: [Live]").SAPGuiAPOGrid("IgridCtrl").PressEnter
'If one or more data sets in your input data sheet contain data for rows that require scrolling in order to make
'them visible, and your grid uses the ENTER key for scrolling, you should add the ScrollMethod argument to the
'Input statement as follows:
SAPGuiSession("Session").SAPGuiWindow("Planning Book: [Live]").SAPGuiAPOGrid("IgridCtrl").Input "Action1.IgridCtrl", ENTER
'If the Auto-parameterize table and grid controls option was not selected, inserting the data into four cells
'would require the following statements instead of the single Input statement.
SAPGuiSession("Session").SAPGuiWindow("Planning Book: [Live]").SAPGuiAPOGrid("IgridCtrl").SetCellData 1, "M 10.2003", "103,2"
SAPGuiSession("Session").SAPGuiWindow("Planning Book: [Live]").SAPGuiAPOGrid("IgridCtrl").SetCellData 2, "M 12.2003", "14000"
