SHDB - Record a transaction

This transaction allows a user to record keystrokes and other keyboard actions so that they may be incorporated into a BDC session. While any session may be recorded, it does not mean that the recording can be used to create a session. Within a recording individual screens may not be allowed.

Customized screens may present a problem. Only use the non-customized screens to record sessions.
