I am working on coverting programs from a S/36 (CBL36) mode to a AS400 (CBL) 
mode.  I've run into 2 things that I have not been able to figure out.  
Hopefully someone can help me. 

1)  How do you get the position the cursor is at when the enter or a function 
key is pressed.  This is how I have it set up on the S/36.   

                                                                  
     SELECT SCREEN-FILE    ASSIGN TO WORKSTATION-OR001FM          
                           ORGANIZATION TRANSACTION               
                           CONTROL-AREA IS SCREEN-CONTROL-AREA.

2) On the S/36 I have got logical files but off the physical file with multiple 
keys.  I cannot compile these on the AS400.  I am REALLY stumped on this one.  
What do you do to convert logical files (COBOL wise) from the system/36 to the 
AS400.

Thanks so very much. Please send any responses to pcampbell@xxxxxxxxxxxx
