Options Detail

popup

The pop-up will vary on how it looks depending on what “type” is specified in the options for the message command. To display an Icon on the message along with the popup, you need to calculate the "type" by adding the Icon type value and Popup type value. POP-UP TYPE VALUE ABORT, RETRY, IGNORE 2 CANCEL, TRY, CONTINUE 6 HELP 16384 OK 0 OK, CANCEL 1 RETRY, CANCEL 5 YES, NO 4 YES, NO, CANCEL 3   ICON TYPE   VALUE INFORMATION ICON 64 QUESTION ICON 32 STOP ICON 16 On SAP EASY ACCESS Screen, run the following command to know how the popup option works with message command: message_result = message("ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO GO TO VA02?", {"type":4,"title":"NAVIGATE TO VA02?"}); A popup will come up. Select either “Yes” or “No” and the screen will either navigate to VA02 or stay on the same screen.

Note: This feature does not work for Liquid UI Server.

Using the message() command, you can display following two types of messages:

• User defined message
• System messages

Example

User-defined message

The following message() command displays user defined message:

• Create a script file for SAP 'VA01' screen (sapmv45a.e0101.sjs).
• Enter the following command:

  var z_va01 = "Demonstrating the message command!"
  message("S: Your message appears here: " +z_va01);

• 'S' in the message command displays 'checkbox' icon. Execute the script file.
• The message appears, as shown in the following figure:

  order_num = search_option(z_message,"Order");

  Learn more about search_option as how it extracts an order number from a successful saving message.

• Message command with popup

  Using the popup type values, we can see if we wanted a Pop-up that gave the options “ABORT, RETRY, IGNORE”, with a STOP ICON, we would need to add 2+16. Our calculated “type” is 18.
