    I found a solution, created a new function to my click that returns an empty string. Works like a charm

     

    Thanks.

     

    function myButtonClick(a)
    {
     a.Click();
     return("");
    }


    b.Keys(myButtonClick(a) + aqString.Trim(tempPathName, aqString.stAll));

You can't send a "Click" method to the Keys command.  Keys takes, as a parameter, a string.  Click doesn't return anything hence the undefined.

 

What are you attempting to do with that process?  If all you're attempting to do is click on the field and then do a key entry, simply do the following:

  var PathName = eval(genericPath);

  var tempPathName = context1.get(dataName);

  var objNames = objName;

      if(aqString.GetLength(tempPathName) != null) {

          b = PathName.PwcAutoComplete(objNames).TextInput(0);

          a = PathName.PwcAutoComplete(objNames).Button(0);

            if((b.Exists) && (b.Enabled == true)) {

                var fieldContent = getInputValue(b); 
                
                a.Click();

                b.Keys(aqString.Trim(tempPathName, aqString.stAll));

                b.Keys("[Tab]");

                genCheckAlertFormPWC();

            }

      } else {

        Log.Warning("The Supplied data is not valid for the field, please check the data and try again.");

        aqUtils.Beep();

      }

Thanks for the feedback, I'm trying to click on the field and then do a key entry.

I tried the suggested solution but after the a.Click(); the script looses focus and the pop-up list would disappear again.
