To try to reproduce this (since I don't have most of the programs that
your OCL is calling) I did this:

// * 'wieviel Kopien wollen Sie gedruckt haben? ( 0 2 )'
// IF ?R?=0 GOTO C0
// TAG C0

I ran it, and this is what I got:

                            S/36 PROGRAM MESSAGES
(blank lines omitted)
GANTEN
wieviel Kopien wollen Sie gedruckt haben? ( 0 2 )
Enter required parameter
 * <-- this is where the cursor is.

So...   it's not in the top left, but rather in the bottom left, for me.
I get the same results if I run it on an IBM green-screen terminal.  (I
do not have client access to try it with)

Since I can't reproduce the problem, please send me a trace file.
Please send it to me directly, not to the mailing list.

Thank you!
