VBA Code to extract SAP Report - support required to make the code to wait after execution

[Rohith1324]

Hi, Need support on the attached code.

After executing the report if the report screen shows up within few seconds then I dont have any issues with the code but my report doesn't come up within few seconds everytime....based on the Country and the records that are in the SAP system even it takes some time roughly even 5 Min or more than that(but I dont want even the 5 mins to be hardcoded as it changes every now and then)....So I want your support in making the code wait until the report screen to show up....(in the screenshot after the highlighted part)

Option Explicit
Public SapGuiAuto
Public objGui As GuiApplication
Public objConn As GuiConnection
Public Session As GuiSession


Sub SAPExtractCustomerList()

Dim country As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim lastRow As Long
Set SapGuiAuto = GetObject("SAPGUI")
Set objGui = SapGuiAuto.GetScriptingEngine
Set objConn = objGui.Children(0)
Set Session = objConn.Children(0)

lastRow = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row

Session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[0]/okcd").Text = "/nzcustomer" 'Input T-code
Session.findById("wnd[0]").sendVKey 0 'Enter key
For i = 2 To lastRow
country = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & i).Value
Session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/txtSCOUNTRY-LOW").Text = country 'Input Country
Session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/txtSCOUNTRY-LOW").SetFocus
Session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/txtSCOUNTRY-LOW").caretPosition = 2
Session.findById("wnd[0]").sendVKey 8 'Execute button ----------------------> Help requried after this step - code to wait for the next element to be avaiable..
Session.findById("wnd[0]/mbar/menu[0]/menu[3]/menu[1]").Select 'Select menu bar to save as
Session.findById("wnd[1]/usr/cmbG_LISTBOX").SetFocus
Session.findById("wnd[1]/tbar[0]/btn[0]").press
Session.findById("wnd[1]/usr/ctxtDY_PATH").Text = "C:\SAP Demo Exports" 'Input save as directory
Session.findById("wnd[1]/usr/ctxtDY_FILENAME").Text = country & " Customers.xlsx" 'Input file name
Session.findById("wnd[1]/usr/ctxtDY_FILENAME").caretPosition = 17
Session.findById("wnd[1]/tbar[0]/btn[0]").press 'Confirm and OK
Session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[0]/btn[3]").press 'Back button
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B" & i).Value = "C:\SAP Demo Exports\" & country & " Customers.xlsx"
Next i

ThisWorkbook.Save
Application.Quit
ThisWorkbook.Saved = True


End Sub

Do you get an error on the next line if you just let it run?

Yes I'm getting the below error :

Microsoft excel is waiting for 'system name' to complete an OLE action

Maybe you could try something like the below, you could also add a sleep in the loop if needed:

Do
    On Error Resume Next
    Session.findById("wnd[0]/mbar/menu[0]/menu[3]/menu[1]").Select 'Select menu bar to save as
    If Err.Number = 0 Then Exit Do
    DoEvents
Loop
On Error GoTo 0

Still i'm getting the same error - approx. after 1 Min.

With my addition, what line do you get your error on?

Not exactly the error but i'm getting the dailogbox in excel asking to Click "ok" - I have to keep clicking the Ok button....and if the report takes mre time this dailogbox appears more than 40 to 50 times...where I have to keep clicking "OK" button....

If the code completes after clicking ok (a lot) then maybe the below will help?
