Screen Personas 3.0 SP05 - Script works fine on WebUI but shows an error on SAP GUI for windows

[mgbernardo]

Good evening gurus,

I have encountered a problem with a script on SP 3.0 SP05.

The thing is I created a simple script for the tx VA03 with just and IF condition to hide\unhide some screen fields. If I execute the script in the WebUI environment it just works fine. But when is triggered on SAP GUI shows a popup with the error:

"session.findById(...) is null or not an object" on line 8 scode: 800a138f

The script is:

var oItemCat = session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/subSUBSCREEN_HEADER:SAPMV45A:4013/ctxtVBAP-PSTYV").text;
var oPA_LABEL = session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tabsTAXI_TABSTRIP_ITEM/tabpT\\06/ssubSUBSCREEN_BODY:SAPMV45A:4457/subCOBL:SAPLKACB:1006/lblDKACB-ERGOKONT");
var oPA_BUTTON = session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tabsTAXI_TABSTRIP_ITEM/tabpT\\06/ssubSUBSCREEN_BODY:SAPMV45A:4457/subCOBL:SAPLKACB:1006/btnCOBL_XERGO");
var oWBS_LABEL = session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tabsTAXI_TABSTRIP_ITEM/tabpT\\06/ssubSUBSCREEN_BODY:SAPMV45A:4457/subCOBL:SAPLKACB:1006/lblCOBL-PS_POSID");
var oWBS_TEXTBOX = session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tabsTAXI_TABSTRIP_ITEM/tabpT\\06/ssubSUBSCREEN_BODY:SAPMV45A:4457/subCOBL:SAPLKACB:1006/ctxtCOBL-PS_POSID");
if ( oItemCat == "ZXXX" )
 {
 oPA_BUTTON.hide();
 oPA_LABEL.hide();
 
 }
else
 {
    oWBS_LABEL.hide();
    oWBS_TEXTBOX.hide();
 }

The SAP GUI version is 7.50 with patch 6

The error line 8 refers to the line where the hide statement is executed. Seems like in SAP GUI is not finding the field inside session.findById like:

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tabsTAXI_TABSTRIP_ITEM/tabpT\\06/ssubSUBSCREEN_BODY:SAPMV45A:4457/subCOBL:SAPLKACB:1006/btnCOBL_XERGO")

And this is the dynpro on the sales order:

I tried using the hide commands directly without a var like:

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tabsTAXI_TABSTRIP_ITEM/tabpT\\06/ssubSUBSCREEN_BODY:SAPMV45A:4457/subCOBL:SAPLKACB:1006/lblCOBL-PS_POSID").hide()

But same error happens when accessing VA03 from SAP GUI

Do you have any ideas on how to fix the problem?

Thanks in advance

HI Marcelo,

Please put an if statement to check whether that field is visible(exist) or not before hiding it.

Thanks Ravi!

I've already tried that and I finished checking for the tab:

if (session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tabsTAXI_TABSTRIP_ITEM").selectedTab.id === "wnd[0]/usr/tabsTAXI_TABSTRIP_ITEM/tabpT\\06") {
	var oItemCat = session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/subSUBSCREEN_HEADER:SAPMV45A:4013/ctxtVBAP-PSTYV").text;
	var oPA_LABEL = session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tabsTAXI_TABSTRIP_ITEM/tabpT\\06/ssubSUBSCREEN_BODY:SAPMV45A:4457/subCOBL:SAPLKACB:1006/lblDKACB-ERGOKONT");
	var oPA_BUTTON = session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tabsTAXI_TABSTRIP_ITEM/tabpT\\06/ssubSUBSCREEN_BODY:SAPMV45A:4457/subCOBL:SAPLKACB:1006/btnCOBL_XERGO");
	var oWBS_LABEL = session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tabsTAXI_TABSTRIP_ITEM/tabpT\\06/ssubSUBSCREEN_BODY:SAPMV45A:4457/subCOBL:SAPLKACB:1006/lblCOBL-PS_POSID");
	var oWBS_TEXTBOX = session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tabsTAXI_TABSTRIP_ITEM/tabpT\\06/ssubSUBSCREEN_BODY:SAPMV45A:4457/subCOBL:SAPLKACB:1006/ctxtCOBL-PS_POSID");
	switch ( oItemCat ) {
			
		case "ZXX1":
		case "ZXX2":
			oPA_BUTTON.hide();
			oPA_LABEL.hide();
			oWBS_LABEL.show();
			oWBS_TEXTBOX.show();
			break;
  
		case "ZXX3":
		case "ZXX4":
			oWBS_LABEL.hide();
			oWBS_TEXTBOX.hide();
			oPA_BUTTON.show();
			oPA_LABEL.show();		
			break;
	 }
}

Now it does not show any error from SAP GUI but it's not working. As I mentioned, it's only working on WebUI and Fiori

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

As Cris suggested, open a support incident for BC-FES-GUI, since this appears to be a problem related to SAP GUI for Windows.

Hi Marcelo,

I suggest opening a support incident under BC-FES-GUI, as the issue happens over SAPGUI for Windows.

Kind regards,

Cris
