Re: DSPF Home Key positioning to field in control record.

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am not completely sure I follow what is happening, but here is my shot 
at it:

When the Home key is pressed the if/else loop does nothing.

This makes me think that commenting
line 56.  HomeKey = Save_homeKey;
and
line 58.  Save_HomeKey = HomeKey;

might make a difference.  My guess is that it will either fix it or show 
you the problem from another angle, and lead you safely home.
