RE: Cursor progression DOWN, on an input subfile screen

Bob,

This keyword might help:

FLDCSRPRG (Cursor Progression Field) keyword for display files

You use this field-level keyword to define the field to which the cursor
moves when it exits a field.

The FLDCSRPRG keyword is ignored when the workstation is not attached to
a controller that supports an enhanced data stream.
The format of the keyword is:

FLDCSRPRG(name of a field)

One parameter must be specified.

The field containing the FLDCSRPRG keyword is defined as an
input-capable field. It cannot be defined in a subfile.

The field name is a name of an input-capable field that is defined
inside the same record that this field is in.

Option indicators are not valid for this keyword.

The FLDCSRPRG keyword is not allowed with the SNGCHCFLD or MLTCHCFLD
keywords.

Subject: Cursor progression DOWN, on an input subfile screen

We have a _subfile_ with two input fields, an option field and an amount

field.
We want the cursor to progress down to the next option field, not across

to the amount field.
It would be just fine if the amount field would only position-to
when the user specifically uses the arrow keys to position to it.
(Rarely used)
What is the simplest way to accomplish this? Is there a DDS only
keyword method?
(We prefer to not use a function key to toggle the amount field between
input allowed and protected)

Thanks, Bob
