stringnis a string of characters to be typed into the session. This field is case sensitive. Enclose stringn in double quotation marks ("") if it contains embedded spaces or commas. If a double quote (") needs to be included in stringn enter two double quotes (""). The two double quotes will be replaced by a single double quote when the string is typed.
