PI60339: NULLPOINTEREXCEPTION THROWN WHEN TIMESHEET JSP HAS LOCKED TIMESHEET OBJECTS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Prepopulate timesheet not working when previous week has a
  locked timesheet.
  
  The prepopulation maintains a map of timesheet locked status
  using plan description as key. Some timesheets do not appear in
  the hashmap, and there is no check for null before proceeding to
  use the hashmap value so a null pointer exception occurs.
