Scripting Not Enabled Error Message
Occasionally within a GLSU workbook, a user will see a pop-up error message titled Scripting Not Enabled, which gives instructions for enabling a scripting setting through SAP GUI.
However, it may be confusing because when the user looks at their SAP GUI settings, the checkbox for Enable Scripting appears to be already checked!
The GLSU error message is correct:
Occasionally when it is installed, a bug in SAP GUI causes the checkbox for Enable Scripting to say it is already checked, but the programmatic value for that control is not actually set.
The solution is very simple! Inside the SAP GUI Logon pad:
- Turn OFF scripting by removing the tick mark from the checkbox.
- Select the Apply button or the OK button to save the change.
- Then turn scripting ON by ticking the checkbox for Enable Scripting.
- Select OK to save and exit SAP GUI Options.
Once this setting is saved, it only needs to be done once per user.
