Re: SFL Cursor Progression

I fixed this problem by specifying CHGINPDFT(FE) so that use must field
exit.
The user can just use the arrow keys to move the cursor down the column.
Not ideal but satisfactory solution.

Just because he has only one input capable field per subfile record
doesn't necessarily mean that he only has one subfile record per screen
row.

About the only way I can think of to make this work as desired would be
to (1) use a terminal or emulator that allows you to control cursor
progression, and (2) completely ignore the operating system's subfile
support, and either build a regular display file record to simulate
subfiles with cursor progression, or do your screen writes entirely in
user-defined mode (big pain in the equus asinius).
