Input action

An Input action types a sequence of text characters into a specified field of the application screen.

When an Input action is played, the effect on the session is exactly the same as if a human operator had typed the text at the keyboard.

Points to remember when you use the Input action:

The Input action includes the following properties:
Property: Description:
Encrypted This property indicates whether the specified field is a hidden field in the corresponding application screen. Do not change the value of this property.
Field Required string. This property specifies the fully qualified name of the field into which the characters are to be inputted. The fully qualified name consists of:
  • The screen name (for example, OperatorIn_1)
  • Followed by the letters "ns"
  • Followed by a colon (:)
  • Followed by the default field name (for example, Field251).
Example: OperatorIn_1ns:Field251

See Using point-and-click to modify a Field property.

Name Optional string. This property specifies the custom name of the field, if you have provided a custom name (such as CustomerBalance).
Value Optional string. This property specifies the text to be written into the specified field.

If you leave this property empty, then the Input action has no effect at run time.
