Get SAP Object Location

Retrieve the location (in pixels) of an object in the active SAP window and place it into new or existing variables. Choose to retrieve the location represented either by:

  • Rectangle – with variables for left, top, width, and height; or

  • Center point – with variables for X and Y coordinates

The supported SAP version is 7.4 and later.

Choose rectangle or center point first

The variables you need to specify while setting up this command vary based on the method you choose for retrieving the location. So make this selection first and save yourself some time!
