PM57389: 'Find Literals and Replace with Datapool Reference' does not work with Simplified Scripting enabled

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• 'Find Literals and Replace with Datapool Reference' does not
  work with Simplified Scripting enabled in RFT 8.2.1.1
  (regression from prior release)
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  1) Enable 'Simplified Scripting' in Preferences.
  2) Record a script Script1 against ClassicsJavaA which enters
  some data in text fields.
  3) Create a datapool and associate it to Script1.
  4) With Script1 open in the editor and the 'Script' (simplified
  scripting) tab selected, click 'Script ? Find Literals and
  Replace with Datapool Reference'. Or click the toolbar icon for
  the same function.
  5) Click 'Find' to find a literal string.
  6) Enter 'MyVariable1' in the 'Datapool Variable' field. Ensure
  that the checkbox 'Add literal to datapool' is selected.
  7) Click 'Replace'.
  ---? EXPECTED RESULT: A new column 'MyVariable1' is created in
  the datapool, a new row is created (with the value being
  replaced), and the script is modified to include a reference to
  the datapool in place of the currently selected literal string.
  ---? ACTUAL RESULT: Nothing happens. Visually, you can see that
  the 'replace' button reflects a mouseDown and mouseUp, but
  nothing else happens.
