I can use DSPATR(PC) to position the cursor to a field that fails an edit check at data entry time, using a unique indicator.

If I have 30 input-capable ("B") fields on a screen; so I have to consume 30 indicators.

This could run out of indicators, plus it is terribly un-self documenting to code in this method.

Is there a better method of positioning a cursor in the COBOL and DDS world?


Thanks!
