Hi Lads,

Here is a problem for me:
I want to send "end" keystroke, and command line suppose to look like that:

Sess0.Screen.Sendkeys("<end>")

but as a result I get on screen in my field:

<end>

"<tab>" works fine, Attachmate moves to another field and "<enter>" execute action, another strings as well, but I have no idea how to send "end".

Does it case sensitive or so?
I tried to use help file, but in section about sending keystrokes syntax is as follow: {end}, {enter} etc.
Does anyone know how to deal with it?


regards, Sagit
 
If you are trying to move the cursor to the end of the current field, try:

Sess0.Screen.Sendkeys("<EndOfField>")

We have our End key set to execute <EraseEOF> which erases to the end of the current field the cursor is located in but use Ctrl + End for <EndOfField>.

Does this help?
 
Hi streetprog,

Your answer close a subject, nothing to add, nothing to take away. Thank you very much, this is a great help.

A few more from the help file.

Use the table below to identify the mnemonic that represents a particular 3270 function key. When you specify a mnemonic, enclose it in angle brackets ( < > ). For example, in the following statement, the Screen object uses the SendKeys method to transmit a Command 1 function to the host.

Screen.SendKeys <Pf1>
