Why are using 'Global Send Key' option? Why can't you use 'Write' step? You can fill up a text field with use of 'Data Item' in wich you will have text you need to be writen.

I am using Data item it self to send the data from. This is under the AA mode, 'Write' step isn't working I have tried that as well.

Global Send Keys internally uses System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys so characters like braces or parentheses must be escaped.
One way of doing it is using a Calculation stage with several Replace instructions, replacing the problematic characters with the escaped version.
For more information about System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys check the following MSDN link
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.sendkeys(v=vs.110).aspx

RPA-Blueprism - Global Send Keys for '(' then
{<SHIFT>9}</SHIFT> - Key down Shift button and press 9 releases the shift key, indirectly it does SHIFT + 9
Let's consider - If needed to write "(" manual key stroke would be SHIFT + 9
So if you have to send Global send key for the same, then use the above code
You can refer the blow link for more understanding
