If the user selects Cancel in the dialog popup, the Award Status reverts to its previous value; if the user selects OK, the Award Status is set to "LOI". The problem I am encountering is that the statement: SiebApplication("repositoryname:=Siebel Life Sciences for PACT").SiebScreen("repositoryname:=Opportunities Screen").SiebView("repositoryname:=" & sDetailView ).SiebApplet("repositoryname:=" & sTopAppletName ).SiebPicklist("repositoryname:=DCRI Award Status").Select "LOI" causes the Dialog popup to appear, but it "hangs" the test script because the Dialog popup prevents the Select statement from completing execution. I can process the Dialog popup just fine but cannot get to it due to the "hang". There is no timeout error thrown and no way that I can see to process this with an Error handler. I am thinking that I need to process the Dialog popup with some kind of event handler. Do you have any suggestions on this Siebel browser side popup behavior. Regards, Martin Anshoo,

You will encounter way too many issues that could be resolved by using Record/Playback. This is a very complex object and also because of CAS API, automation using run-time descriptions does not work well. In your case though, since each SiebList is present in different views, you can reference different views and populate values as required through a loop + conditional statements.. Robin,

I am working on Siebel Call Center. We use Descriptive Programming in automating Siebel. I have one SiebList in one of the view s and this contains different values. There is one Siebbutton and clicking on this button Popups new Applet and this applet contains another SiebList. My requirement is to select a value which should not be present in first SiebList. Can we store both the Sieblist values in an Array or do you have any better solution for the issue. Please reply ASAP. Thanks in advance! Robin Hi Anshoo,
