RE: Position To in a display file pgm using embedded sql

Peter,

That is how I handle page-up normally.

The problem I'm having is that inorder to do a PositionTo I have to include
a where clause on the select statement:

C                   eval      @select1 =
C                             'select * from rbsurchgp +
C                             where rbcco = ' + %editc(cpy:'X')
C                   if        PosToInd = *on
C                   eval      @select1 = @select1 +
C                             ' and rbccus >= ' + %editc(posToCus:'X')
C                   endif
C                   eval      @select1 = @select1 +
C                             ' order by rbcco, rbccus '
C

If the user presses the F-key to bring up the position-to window, and
doesn't press cancel, I set on an indicator (PosToInd) and then add the
where clause.

Now the cursor contains records >= to the position-to value.  So what I'm
looking for is another way to position-to.  What I want is a fetch relative
where I can use the key rather than a rrn.
