Unfortunately it's not possible without NWBC (NetWeaver Business Client)

I think Thomas Jung well explain it in the following thread.

Here is an explanation I just posted in another thread:

That's really part of the limitations you must live with when running in a web browser. It isn't like being a desktop access where you have full access to resources. Instead your appliation is sandboxed to the average web browser user from unsafe websites.

Because of this there is no programatic access to the clipboard. Although the browser allows cut and paste into open input fields, it doesn't allow JavaScript access to the clipboard buffer directly.

This means that you could possibly cut and paste into a series of open input fields at best. You can't paste into anything that is not visible on the screen. To do that kind of operation you would need programatic access to the clipboard.

Originally the SmartClient renderer for Web Dynpro in the NWBC would have worked around this limitation becuase it was a true desktop application. It wasn't running a browser and therefore wasn't sandboxed. However it appears as though the SmartClient might not ship as a supported feature in NWBC 3.0.
