Error message "The virtual key is not enabled" when used sendVkey method

[Former Member]

Hello SAP friends,

I would like to send CTRL+C to a certain field, so I used ".sendVkey 77", however I got this error message:

"The virtual key is not enabled"

My question is pretty simple: How to enable it?

Thanks for help in advance.

Hi Stefan,

the clipboard in SAP can not be realized with sendVkey. The only way I know of is as follows:

For example:

. . .
CLIP = session.findById("wnd[0]/. . .").text
msgbox CLIP
. . .

Very well earned points!

Not exactly the answer to my question, but it solved my problem, so thank you very much!

It would be interesting for all of us how you solved your problem.

A quick hint is sufficient.

Well, your response was the solution. I really only needed to know how to fill the clipboard. I'm new to SAP VBS scripting and I didn't know I could copy the content using .text, so I was trying to send the keys CTRL+C, which was not working, hence my first post.

I needed the end time of a certain job, so I chose the variable endtime and filled it with desired entry:

endtime = session.findById("wnd[1]/usr/ctxtBTCH1150-ENDTIME").text

Variable endtime is then used further in the script for searching through job logs via al11.
