"Error in GUI input data" with SAP GUI Java 7.50 and SAP_BASIS 750sp3

[Former Member]

Hi,

I found a strange behaviour changing an RFC from SM59, when I save transaction exits without saving and shows:
Error in GUI input data: input for protected field
Message no. 00123

No matter the password complexity... first I used special characters, but also happens with letters only.

Also, if I change "language" and save, it saves with inserted language in "client" field.
If I change "client" and save, it saves with inserted client in "user" field.
If I change "user" and save, it fails with:
Error in GUI input data: FOCUS DATA
Message no. 00123

It happens with SAP GUI for Java 7.50 rev1 and rev2, not with 7.40rev11.
But it also depends on Netweaver version, using GUI Java 7.5 with these systems:
SAP_BASIS 710sp19, kernel 721p401 -> ok
SAP_BASIS 740sp14, kernel 742p300 -> ok
SAP_BASIS 750sp03, kernel 745p301 -> error
SAP_BASIS 750sp07, kernel 745p400 -> ok
SAP_BASIS 750sp09, kernel 749p301 -> ok

No problem with SAP GUI for Windows 7.40 or 7.50.

Hi

i'd just like to mention that in some cases there is a workaround to avoid the bug: ensure that there is always a field that has the focus on the current window or popup.

This works for example in transaction SXMB_MONI, node "Monitor for Processed XML Messages". The bug happens when one clicks on execute icon, but if focus is set to one of the input fields before execution, then the bug does not happen.

Best regards,

Hello Aitor,

Pretty thorough troubleshooting of different combinations of Basis, kernel, and GUI versions! Though it seems you solved your own problem by showing that a newer kernel patch eliminates the error.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure you're describing the error from Note 2357131: DIAG GROUPBOX enhancement: Invalid GUI input data FOCUS DATA. The problem was fixed with kernel 745 patch 310 (and various patch levels for other kernel releases, but 745 is where you indicated noticing the error).

Cheers,
Matt
