IBM Mainframe Forum

Hello,

I'm trying to DIM out a string variable and then use it in a send keys.
I can't seem to get he syntax correct for the sendkeys using the AccountMSCD variable.

For example:


Thank you.

Hello,

use objECLPS.SendKeys(AccountMSCD, 6, 16). I think this should work.

It did not work. It's erroring saying that it's expecting "=" and adding the "=" does not work either.

You have to post the full details of any messages and show the exact statement you used.

I use below code to interact Excel with Mainframe

Sample given below:

Set autECLConnMgrObj = CreateObject("PCOMM.autECLConnMgr")
Set autECLOIAObj = CreateObject("PCOMM.autECLOIA")
Set autECLSessionObj = CreateObject("PCOMM.autECLSession")
Set autECLPSObj = CreateObject("PCOMM.autECLPS")
autECLOIAObj.SetConnectionByName ("A")
autECLPSObj.SendKeys ("abcd")

and it works for me.. check if you are using correct Object to call SendKeys

Looks to me like this is NOT mainframe topic but a PC topic, in particular Excel. Just because you are going to send the file to the mainframe does not make it a topic for a mainframe forum. Find an Excel forum.

Nic,

I vote for giving this some leeway because it's a terminal emulator issue. The idea of using PC tools to work with mainframe tech seems to be at least somewhat relevant.

Hello,

And there is more of this kind of "overlap" coming rather than less . . .
