Viki -

It's really difficult to do what you're doing without understanding SAP screens, subscreens, and the GUI. You might need to have an ABAP resource help you out to determine the exact details, but those two different numbers (13 and 16) represent two different SAP screens. In the case of this transaction, the user doesn't realize that opening and closing the various sections of data on the screen causes the program to use different screens and subscreens to get the different shaped areas.

In order to always find the field, you could enumerate all of the possible main screens the field may appear on, and check for the existence of each one. You could also manipulate the screen appearance by scripting pressing the various buttons until it's configured to your needs.

Subject: SAPLMEGUI number differs every time when SAP is launched

I have created VBscript which will update header text in purchase orders. ME22N. I now cannot get my ME22N script to recognize the correct item line and thus to update the header text correctly. Below is the before and after of the description. Could anyone tell why the SAPLMEGUI number is different. What does that stand for? How can I solve it?

Before:
usr/subSUB0:SAPLMEGUI:0016/subSUB0:SAPLMEGUI:0030/ subSUB1:SAPLMEGUI:1105/ctxtMEPO_TOPLINE-SUPERFIELD

After:
usr/subSUB0:SAPLMEGUI:0013/subSUB0:SAPLMEGUI:0030/ subSUB1:SAPLMEGUI:1105/ctxtMEPO_TOPLINE-SUPERFIELD
Thanks,
Viki Dee
