  The SAP error message AU130, which states "Program was not started from CATT," typically occurs when you are trying to execute a CATT (Computer Aided Test Tool) script or transaction, but the system does not recognize the context in which the program is being executed. This can happen for several reasons, and here are some common causes, solutions, and related information:

  Script Corruption: The CATT script itself may be corrupted or improperly defined.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Execute from CATT: Ensure that you are executing the program or transaction from the CATT transaction (SCAT). You should load the script and run it from there.
  Check Script Configuration: Review the CATT script to ensure that it is correctly configured. Check for any missing parameters or settings that may prevent it from running.
  Verify Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to execute CATT scripts. You may need to check with your SAP security team to confirm this.
  Recreate the Script: If the script appears to be corrupted, consider recreating it from scratch or restoring it from a backup if available.
  Check for Updates: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as there may be bug fixes related to CATT functionality.
