4GL code to copy a value to windows clipboard

[wa4qms]

UPDATE: 4gl command is CLIPBOARD. Found it in the reference manual.
CLIPBOARD: VALUE = "zxxx" or variable .


I know this is in 'search' somewhere, but with search no appearing to work I'll have to post it here. I thought there was some sort of system command that could be used to take a 'value' and copy it to Window Clipboard.
For example:
def var c as char initial 'TestStuff".
system (some-command).

Then in a windows environment if you did a CTRL-V, TestStuff would be pasted.

Hopefully, search will be back up soon.

I generally just use google with a site filter to search progress.com:

site:docs.progress.com output clipboard

Output to the clipboard.

Alternative using .NET within the ABL.

System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard:SetText("FooBar").
