  The SAP error message ECATT526, which states "Display inactive source code (stored temporarily in ECATFRAME)," typically occurs in the context of SAP eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool) when there is an issue with the source code of a test script or when the script is not active.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Test Script: The test script you are trying to execute or display is not active. In eCATT, scripts must be activated before they can be executed.
  Temporary Storage: The message indicates that the source code is stored temporarily in the ECATFRAME, which means that the system is unable to retrieve the active version of the script.
  Transport Issues: If the script was recently transported from another system, it may not have been activated in the target system.

  Solution:
  
  
  Activate the Test Script:
  
  Go to the eCATT transaction (code: SECATT).
  Locate the test script that is causing the issue.
  Check its status; if it is inactive, activate it by selecting the script and using the "Activate" option.

  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and execute eCATT scripts.
  Check with your SAP security team if you suspect authorization issues.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that all dependencies of the test script (like other scripts, functions, or data) are also active and available.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
