Multiple line items with eCATT....again

Question

Hi folks,
I am struggling with adding multiple lines in an eCATT script. For this example I will use the Airline demo example from SAP help: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/fd/4f6b3f3d643b3be10000000a114084/content.htm.
(You initialize the Airline demo data with SE38>>SAPBC_DATA_GENERATOR first.)
The demo is based on transaction EC_TUTORIAL_SAPGUI.
Start transaction EC_TUTORIAL_SAPGUI
Open an airline and flight
Right click on a date and select New Booking
Pick a customer from F4 list
Select Passengers tab
Enter a last name, title and date of birth.
I have created the script, system and test data containers and test configuration. Everything runs great.
Now I want to modify it a little so I can add multiple passengers into one flight booking request.
I have read Sapna Modi & Rakesh Kumar Jain's excellent blogs and have been able to start using eCATT productively with their help. Also from reading all the SDN posts I think I need the DO...ENDDO loop. (I would like to do it without inline ABAP mainly because I don't know ABAP at all and we will want to do similar things in the future with other non-ABAP'ers.)
Here is my test script ZTUTORIAL_TS_LOOP:
SAPGUI ( EC_TUTORIAL_SAPGUI_100_1 ).
SAPGUI ( EC_TUTORIAL_SAPGUI_120_1 ).
GETGUI ( EC_TUTORIAL_SAPGUI_100_4 ).
Switch to Passengers tab. Cursor in Class field.
SAPGUI ( EC_TUTORIAL_SAPGUI_100_STE_1 ).
Delete first row so I start with empty table.
SAPGUI ( EC_TUTORIAL_SAPGUI_100_STE_2 ).
This is where I am stuck. I don't know how to add as many rows as there are variants (records) in my test data containter.
The way it is below, it inserts the same record twice and the whole script repeats for each record in the TDC.
DO ( 2 ).
Insert row and type passenger name, title, DOB.
SAPGUI ( EC_TUTORIAL_SAPGUI_100_STE_3 ).
ENDDO.
Save.
SAPGUI ( EC_TUTORIAL_SAPGUI_100_STE_4 ).
Confirm pop-up.
SAPGUI ( EC_TUTORIAL_SAPGUI_110_STE_1 ).
Show message in status bar.
SAPGUI ( EC_TUTORIAL_SAPGUI_100_STE_5 ).
I know I have to pass the DO a parameter and somehow get that into the command and use that to loop through the test data container, I just haven't been able to put the pieces together. Can anybody help? Thank you,
David

Dear David,Vinay and Sebastian,
I have an issue....I am new to ECATT.
iam Using SECATT Transaction.
I need 2 record PFCG to Create Role and assign Multiple Transactions.
Now I have Gone through th eBlogs of Sapna and many other links.
Firstly I have Tried Both the Methods,
TCD and GUI as well.
My Case is as Follows....
1)while Creating Role in PFCG(Recording).
I give
         a)Role Name
         b)Description Then Navigate to Menu Tab
         c)Click on  Transaction Button
         d)now this is where the Problem Arises.
I  first    Enter VA01 and press enter
   Then  Enter Va02 and Press enter
Similarly I make Multiple Entries.
After that I Click on Assign Transaction and then Save my Recording and then go back.
Now I am Done with my recording.
Now issue is after creating my Test Script...When i Create the Test Configuration.
I provide the Test Script Name and Download the Template.
Now after Creating Template I give Entries as follows in tab Delimit Format.
I modified my File as follows.
[VARIANT]                          [DESCRIPTION]     V_ROLE_NAME     V_DESC     V_TCODE
                                      BDC field value     BDC field value     BDC field value
*ECATTDEFAULT                           X104     A1     VL03N
1          ROLE1     A1     SE37
2          ROLE1     A1     SE38
3          ROLE1     A1     SE51
Problems:-
1)Whenever I Execute The Recording it Shows Previous Entry which i made during Recording and says that the Role already Exists
2)while recording in Foreground Teh File Picks ROLE1 then picks the Desc  A1 then when it Picks the Transaction  se37.
now when it Goes to second line it Shows the Previous Entry I JUST ENTERED.i.e SE37 and says that Tcode laready Exists.
How do i Clear this previus variables.
2ndly if i Program My Code and dont Use External Vaiant.
I made the File as Below as Text Delimit and This Time iam not using The Template.
But when i Execute it It Gives Error.
Is there any Problem with My File..Please Suggest.
It has been 3 Days and iam Still Stuck at this issue.
ROLE2     DES1     MB5B
ROLE2     DES2     ME23N        
Please Respond.
Thanks Awaiting.
