Hi All,

I am working on Mainframe automation where after entering the details and I am sending F8 control key to post the invoice.

after that I am getting warning message where I have to send F8 again but unfortunately 2nd F8 is executing in UiPath but nothing performing on the screen.

If anyone already faced this or similar issue. Kindly help me on this😊

Hi @ashokkarale ,I am using send control key activates only

Will this non terminal activity work ?

@pankajdhane ,
try these steps

  • use “Type Into” with "[k(F8)]".
  • Use “Send Hotkey” with F8.
  • try adding a short delay (1-2 seconds) before the second F8.

@pankajdhane,

Got that! Can you try adding delay between two Send Control Key just in case it requires sometime to validate the data and then we can send another F8.

@pankajdhane

Try if any other combination works…manually check what other combinations can work there

Also generally in terminal ctrl+key and only key works…so try the same
