While attempting to use the SendString macro command to send a text string to a specific location on the screen, the text is always sent to the current cursor position instead. How can this be corrected?
Due to the nature of VT, SCO ANSI and Wyse 60 hosts, it is not possible to send text strings to a specific location on the screen using the SendString macro command. The Row and Column parameters associated with this command may only be used with TN3270 or TN5250 emulation types. In order to send a string of text to the desired location, you must first navigate to the screen location using the appropriate SendHostKeys command (i.e., <TAB>, <ENTER> or <RIGHT>). Once the cursor is in the appropriate location on the screen, you may then use the SendString command.
