Documentation
Definition
The parameters of the CATT test cases begin with an '&' (ampersand). When migrating to eCATT, the first character of the parameter name is replaced with '_' (underscore).
For example, the parameter &BUKRS turns into the parameter _BUKRS.
In some applications, the parameter types I, E, or V are at the beginning of the parameter names, so the type can be identified by the name.
If applied to the example above:
Import parameter I_BUKRS
Export parameter E_BUKRS
Local variable V_BUKRS
Use
During the migration, you can choose to place the type I, E, or V at the beginning of the eCATT parameter name to be created. This also affects the REF calls, which are executed simultaneously when the option 'Recursive REF Migration' is set.
Dependencies
If you migrage CATT modules in a first step and the CATT test cases in a second step, make sure to use the same setting for the parameter names in both cases. Otherwise, inconsistencies may occur. For example, it may be impossible to enter correct parameter assignments in the command interfaces.
