Re: Cursor progression DOWN, on an input subfile screen

Booth,
I see where CSRLOC is not valid for SFL record format.
I also tried adding those 3 lines to my SFLCTL record,
and my DDS won't compile there either.

Any other ideas?
Thanks, Bob Nesiba


The CSRLOC keyword is not valid for the following record formats:

* Subfile record formats (identified by the SFL keyword)
* User-defined record formats (identified by the USRDFN keyword)

This should work for you:

"CSRLOC (Cursor Location) keyword for display files

You use this record-level keyword to specify the cursor location on an
output operation to the record format that you are defining. Your
program sends the output operation after setting the cursor location.
...
Example

The following example shows how to specify the CSRLOC keyword.

|...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+

00010A R RECORD1 CSRLOC(LINNBR POSNBR)
00020A TITLE 40 B 1 2
00030A PAGE 5Y OB 1 60
00040A TEXT 1760 B 2 1
00050A LINNBR 3 OH
00060A POSNBR 3 OH

"

Setg the LINNBR & POSNBR as a constant for the position you want for the

first subfile option field.

Thanks all & especially Booth.

FLDCSRPRG works on a regular display panel, but
SFLCSRPRG is what we were looking for to move from record to record on
our subfile.

Only odd behavior is that after tabbing down (like we want),
one additional tab keystroke moves the cursor to the other input

capable

field (amount field)
on the last record of the subfile. Why there?
A second additional tab positions the cursor at the first option field
(the field where we want it).

Is there a way to prevent it from tabbing over to that second input

field?

Our user may inadvertently change the amount if the cursor is
accidentally positioned there.

Second question: can I easily re-position the cursor to the first
subfile record on page up/page down?

Thanks much!

You use this field-level keyword to define that when the cursor leaves

the field, it goes to the same field in the next subfile record

instead

of the next field in the same record."

See if that does the trick for you.*

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
