Description

Send simulated keyboard input to the host or PC.

For all input via terminal function keys (e.g. CLEAR or CR), Entire Connection waits for a response from the host.

Entire Connection waits until a response is received, or until the time period indicated by the system variable RESPONSE is exceeded. If a response is received within the defined period, the next statement in the procedure file is executed.

If the defined period is exceeded, processing of the procedure file is canceled. Exception: if the $TIMEOUT tag is defined in the procedure file, Entire Connection branches to this tag for further processing.

Syntax

TYPE {string|terminal-functionkeyname|physical-functionkey}...

Examples

• Send the keyboard input CLEAR to the host:

  TYPE CLEAR

• Send the strings *NAT and %+ to the host, and confirm each string with CR:

  TYPE '*NAT' CR '%+' CR

• Send CLEAR and ALT+A to the host (ALT+A can be defined, for example, as '*NAT' CR):

  TYPE CLEAR A-A
