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

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.

I've spent entirely too much time on this. Could someone please help me
out on this. I've never bothered handling the home key. Here's the issue.


When I press Home, it is disabling the field in the control record. So
it's always going back to the first subfile record.

What I want to do is.. .when the program first loads, I want the cursor to
be positioned to the first subfile record. This is working just fine,
display file has...


Then when the user presses home, I want the first field in the subfile
control to have focus. But when I press home, the fields in the control
record get disabled even though I have no protect indicators specified.
Home Key has a response indicator of 27. First field in control record
has a position cursor of 27 on it.

I've copied an existing program that is working as I want. Where the only
difference I see is that I am using the INDARA and INDDS in the program.


I've also never done a folded subfile before either. Something strange is
happening here too. If I press Home which locks the Control record fields,
I can press F11 to expanded the subfile records and it enables the control
records. I also have two constants in the control record that is
highlighted, they lose highlighting when I press F11.
