\What it is and how it works

In a classical SAP R/3 system environment editing and presentation of SAP dynpros on the front end is managed by the program SAPGUI. Simplified which interprets instructions from the server and “draws” that way the screen.

Here you can take action in the dynpro processing with the tool GuiXT. Imagine, the server sends the instruction “draw input-field material number with feature accept input at row 3, column 5”. With GuiXT you can influence this instruction on the front end, i. e. locally and at runtime, e. g. changing to “draw input-field material number with feature not accept input at row 6, column 7”.This way you have replaced the field material number and protected for input by the user. This has been done during editing the dynpro on your front end at runtime, without any modification of the original dynpro or any other SAP object. The necessary script commands for this are pos F[material number] (6,7) and noimport F[material number].

As you see, a really simple method and in addition free of costs – GuiXT is part of SAP R/3 since release 3.1. With this standard tool each individual dynpro can be customised On top of that additional tools from the software producer of GuiXT are available, which make it possible to merge fields and screen elements from several dynpros on just one dynpro or to integrate HTML documents.

Based on this fundamental operating method GuiXT Mobile was developed. So it is possible to use SAP R/3 on mobile devices running  Windows Mobile or Windows CE and to customise the SAP dynpros that way they meet the requirements of the mobile devices.
