VBA & SAP GUI Script Error "619": Control Could Not Be Found by ID

[Former Member]

Hello there,

We've been running this VBA Macro for a while then it suddenly stopped working. I tried to specify the 'session.StartTransaction' window again, but it still doesn't work as it runs into 'Error 619: Control could not be found by ID.

Here's the script:

The debug stops at this line when the error message occurs:

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tabsTAXI_TABSTRIP_OVERVIEW/tabpT\01/ssubSUBSCREEN_BODY:SAPMV45A:4400/subSUBSCREEN_TC:SAPMV45A:4900/subSUBSCREEN_BUTTONS:SAPMV45A:4050/btnBT_MKAL").press 

Set SapGuiAuto = GetObject("SAPGUI") 
Set App = SapGuiAuto.GetScriptingEngine 
Set Connection = App.Children(0) 
Set session = Connection.Children(0) 

lr = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row 
For i = 2 To lr 

session.findById("wnd[0]").maximize 
session.startTransaction "/nVA02" 
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtVBAK-VBELN").Text = Cells(i, 1) 
session.findById("wnd[0]").sendVKey 0 
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tabsTAXI_TABSTRIP_OVERVIEW/tabpT\01/ssubSUBSCREEN_BODY:SAPMV45A:4400/subSUBSCREEN_TC:SAPMV45A:4900/subSUBSCREEN_BUTTONS:SAPMV45A:4050/btnBT_MKAL").press 
session.findById("wnd[0]/mbar/menu[1]/menu[1]/menu[0]").Select session.findById("wnd[1]/usr/cmbRV45A-S_ABGRU").Key = "11" 
session.findById("wnd[1]/tbar[0]/btn[7]").press 

If session.ActiveWindow.Name = "wnd[2]" Then 
session.findById("wnd[2]/tbar[0]/btn[0]").press 
End If 

session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[0]/btn[11]").press 
Cells(i, 2) = session.findById("wnd[0]/sbar").Text 
Next i 

End Sub

Hi Julien,

I do not have access to transaction VA02. However, I suspect that pressing the switch must be re-recorded using the SAP GUI script recorder. Presumably, something has changed at this point.

Hi Julien,

I would just record the following command and replace it:

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tabsTAXI_TABSTRIP_OVERVIEW/tabpT\01/ssubSUBSCREEN_BODY:SAPMV45A:4400/subSUBSCREEN_TC:SAPMV45A:4900/subSUBSCREEN_BUTTONS:SAPMV45A:4050/btnBT_MKAL").press

Hi, I have similar issue same as you.

how could I apply IF function if I have two different SAP scripting after I have re-record again and find out the problem here. Please advise the macro expert here 🙂

first code

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/sub/1[0,0]/sub/1/8[0,9]/sub/1/8/9[0,12]/lbl[23,12]").SetFocus

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/sub/1[0,0]/sub/1/8[0,9]/sub/1/8/9[0,12]/lbl[23,12]").caretPosition = 2

second code

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/sub/1[0,0]/sub/1/9[0,10]/sub/1/9/10[0,13]/lbl[32,13]").SetFocus

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/sub/1[0,0]/sub/1/9[0,10]/sub/1/9/10[0,13]/lbl[32,13]").caretPosition = 2

script.man Thank you for your reply!

I did suspect that something had changed since the macro was first recorded. Is it possible that the code for the SAP path has changed with updates? Also, if I re-record the transaction on SAP, I should only replace the code starting with session., correct?

Thanks again!
