sendkeys btw. excel to extra 6.5 object_in a password field

[VictorRavagnani]

Hello Gentleman, could use some help...

When I acquired a password (string) from an inputbox in excel vba, suddenly faced an unusual situation: for a password field in extra 6.5!, sendkeys and/or putstring turns the text into case Insensitive.

DO you faced anything like it?

thank you and happy coding!

Hi,

So if you were to manually enter a case sensitive password in the terminal emulator, it will log you in, but your program fails to transfer such a password to achieve a successful login?

So what do you mean, "got it," for the benefit of others.

Here a better explanation:

[indent]Dim pass as string:pass = InputBox("Mainframe Pass")[/indent]
[indent].PutString (pass), 12, 60[/indent]
[indent].SendKeys ("<Enter>")[/indent]
[indent].WaitHostQuiet (0)[/indent]

Keep in mind that the registered password would be "PassWord!02".

The event inputbox occurs into the excel vba code and the user insert: "paSSWord!02"

Then the vba code transports the wrong password correctly to the OIA (using debug.print you can realize it and also inserting it into other fields that are not a password) and the terminal accepts it as the correct password.

You are aware that in some cases, for instance an IMS system, it's ALL upper case, regardless of what case you enter.
