Send Control Key issue sending F13-F24 keys

[polina.kozlova]

I’m automating an IBM mainframe using UiPath Internal provider and activities from UiPath.Terminal.Activities.
When I try to use “Send Control Key” with keys F13-F24 I always get an error “Send Control Key: Terminal error: ErrorSendKeys”. I already tried “Type Into” activity with terminal as selector and Shift+F1-F12 as text, but it didn’t give me the expected result.
Is there any way to solve this problem?

Hi all,
i face same issue, already tried @skini76 solution but it type “[k(F13)]” into the field not invoking F13.

Anyone know how to send F13-F24 into as400?

Hi @alexologica

Please see this post, I hope it is helpful:

Shift + F3 Combination In Terminal

Hi Gaurav, ddrdushy1 is right. On Mainframe Terminal there are 24 function keys (from PF01 to PF24). Send Control Key actually sends those functions, not the PC Keys. So typically the VT3270 terminal PF01 to PF12 keys are mapped to F1 to F12 PC keys and VT3270 keys PF13 to PF24 are mapped to Shift + (offeseted) F* PC Keys. Thus: PF13 = Shift + F1 PF14 = Shift + F2 PF15 = Shift + F3 ( and this is what you need) … PF24 = Shift + F12. (These can be custom remapped in terminal emulator, …

Hi
Could you please kindly specify how to remap the F13-24?

Hello
The following method worked for me
Try first sending the PA1 or PA2 or PA3 key + the key you want
