SAP Personas Flavor: VL01N selection date not populating when passing through script variable

Hello Personas Guru's,

I have written a script to call transaction "VL01N" and populate VL01N screen fields( Shipping point, Selection date and sales order) from a Dashboard.

When I hardcoded(15.11.2023) the Selection date in Script, It is populating as expected. But when i populate through a variable(dlvDate) it is passing blank value to the Selection date in VL01N. This issue is happening only when we run personas flavor through GUI for Windows.

When DATBI value Hardcoded:

When DATBI value passed through variable: dlvDate

Note: There is no issue while running flavor on GUI for HTML(Browser). As the business not using GUI for HTML to run personas flavors, I'm seeking for help on this issue.

Thank you in advance for your help!

We used to run into these types of problems all the time with SAPGui for Windows. I finally convinced many of the business users, their boss, my boss, and the BA's to switch to SAPGui for HTML. They eventually did and these types of problems went away. Too many issued in SAPGui for Windows. As we only use Personas for our EAM Plant Maintenance, it was easy to segregate the transactions.

Not the answer you are looking for, but related to Personas, it is one of the better solutions.

Cheers,

Brian

At first glance, this should work with all rendering technologies.

Since the problem only occurs while the flavor is used in the Windows GUI, the first question would be what version and patch level of SAP GUI for Windows you are using. If it is not the latest available, then try with that. If this still doesn't work, then creating a support incident directed to BC-FES-GUI would be the next step, since the issue is specific to that component.

Thank you for your response tamas.hoznek

I tried with SAP GUI versions:750(SP:15) and 770(SP:5), It is not working in both versions. I will open an incident with SAP as per your suggestion.

Thanks again!

SAP GUI version 750 is out of maintenance / support. The latest 770 patch level is 14, I would try testing with that first, before opening a ticket.

Also, testing with the latest SAP GUI version 800 and patch level 4 would make sense as well. I'm pretty sure the Windows GUI team will ask to try with the latest SAP GUIs too.

Intresting , try to pass value in " " like "dlvDate" or 'dlvDate' and check.

Variable name: dlvDate populating in selection date field.

srini.brahmasani,

Check in debug what value your date variable capturing, there could be formatting difference or error.

Thanks

Hi Ritesh,

Thank you for your quick response! I already debugged my java script, in debugging it is populating value similar to hardcoded value(15.11.2023).

Note: It is working perfectly in GUI for HTML.

Thank you
