Positioning cursor -- RPG400-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

The attached program when called with the qualified display file name (*LIBL
is valid) and the name of the record format and the field name, will return
the row and column of the first byte of the named field. This can then be
used to position the cursor.

The following must be included in the display file record format.


     A                                      RTNCSRLOC(&RCDNAME &FIELDNAME)
     A                                      CSRLOC(ROW        COL)
     A            RCDNAME       10A  H
     A            FIELDNAME     10A  H
     A            COL            3S 0H
     A            ROW            3S 0H

The program was originally written on a V3R2 machine and has since been run
on V4R1, V4R2 and V4R3.
