23.12 set() using search option

Prerequisites

• Products: Liquid UI WS, Liquid UI Server or Local DLL, Client Software
• Commands: pushbutton(), set(), radiobutton(), del(), checkbox(), onscreen()

Purpose

You will learn how to use the set command with the search option to return a string immediately following the search term. We will walk you through the following steps.

1. Add a pushbutton
2. Add a function to retrieve the required value from the required transaction

//Create this file inside your script folder for customizing Create Sales Order screen SAPMV45A.E0101.sjs
//Now let's start adding the content to the above file

1. Navigate to Create Sales Order screen to search for the required order number.
   
    
   
   
   
    
2. Add a toolbar pushbutton to execute a function (va01_test) on click.
   
    

   //Creates a pushbutton with a label as test and executes the va01_test function on click
   pushbutton([TOOLBAR] , "test" , "/nva01" ,{"process":va01_test});
   

   
   
   
    
3. Add a function va01_test to set values into the required fields and perform required actions on the screen to obtain the sales order number.
    

   //Creates a function to display the sales order number from the SAP message
   function va01_test()
   {
   onscreen 'SAPMV45A.0101'
   // Assign OR value to Order Type field
   set("F[Order Type]" , "OR");
   enter();
   onscreen 'SAPMV45A.4001'
   // Assign 1460 value to Sold-to party field
   set("F[Sold-to party]" , "1460");
   enter();
   onscreen 'SAPMV45A.4001'
   println("----After entering sold-to party----");
   enter("/11");
   onscreen 'SAPMV45A.4001'
   if(_message)
   {
   // set command searches for Order string in the _message and assigns the string followed by the Order string to z_message variable
   set("V[z_message]","&V[_message]",{"search":"Order"});
   println("After z_message>>>" +z_message);
   }
    enter("/nva01");
    // Display the value in the z_message on the status bar
    message(z_message);
   }
   

   
   
    
4. Click the toolbar pushbutton on the Create Sales Order screen. You will see the order number on the status bar retrieved from the SAP message displayed on the Create Sales Order Overview screen after saving the assigned details.
