Cursor positioning

[Larry Paque <larry@xxxxxxxxxx>]

> As of V4R4 IBM still has not given us the ability to position the cursor
> to a field by field name, only by row/column or by indicator controlled
> DSPATR.  DSPATR p-field values don't support cursor positioning, either.
> 
> One obvious solution is a table or a database lookup but we would prefer
> to avoid that maintenance issue every time a field is added/moved on the
> screen.
> 
> Does anyone have a clean method that avoids the use of indicators?
> Somehow determining the row/column of a named field from the display file
> object?  I'd hate to have to parse the source for it.
