How do I script changing the MIGO_GI carrier screen number in one line using the VBA object model?

[mburnett]

I want to improve my code by changing the carrier screen number in the MIGO_GI transaction in one line instead of several. Currently, I'm turning off error control using On Error Resume Next and running all of the possibilities until I hit the correct one. I know there's a way to make this change by executing a method that directly accesses the object level variables, but I've not been able to figure it out.

I also want to learn how to streamline this code by basing everything off of the object variable (instead of repeating "Session.findById("wnd[0]..." on every single line of script). Again, I know this can be done but I'm not sure how to structure it.

All of the Session code was copied directly from the SAP GUI script recorder. Any pointers on how to further clean up this output and/or execute steps more efficiently would be greatly appreciated!

Sub RunMIGO_GI(matNum, batch, storageLocation, quantityIssued, unitOfIssue, requestedBy, costCenter, GLAccount, issueDate)
Dim mySession As Object, screenID as string
Session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[0]/okcd").Text = "/nmigo_gi"
Session.findById("wnd[0]").sendVKey 0

'Set mySession = Session.findById("wnd[0]/usr") 'not used yet...this the object variable I want to figure out how to manipulate
'screenID = mySession.Children(1).ID 'not used yet...this contains information about which screen number is active when the transaction is first executed

'the screen number is "0003" if the header and the item details are showing
'turn off error control and run every screen scenario to force screen 0003 so the code that follows will work (all of it is based on screen 0003)

You can get the name of the GuiScrollContainer as follows (after you've entered the MIGO_GR transaction):

'Get name of GuiScrollContainer
GSC = "wnd[0]/usr/ssub" & session.Children(0).Children(5).Children(1).Name

Then you can use the GSC variable to reference the Container and make the Session commands a bit shorter:

'select Goods Receipt
session.findById(GSC & "/subSUB_FIRSTLINE:SAPLMIGO:0010/cmbGODYNPRO-ACTION").Key = "A01"
