AW: Positioning cursor to specific field...

Hi,

use CSRLOC(Row Col) to set the cursor.
Current cursor location (before prompting) is returned as binary value in
the file status data structure position 370 (Row) 371 (Column).
Just move these values into the hidden fields specified with CSRLOC and
display your screen.

After EXFMT do not forget to initialize the hidden fields to hold row and
column position.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Betreff: Positioning cursor to specific field...

I have checked the archives but I was unable to find the exact answer to my
question.

Simply, is there an alternative way to position the cursor to a specific
field without using DSPATR(PC)?

I have a display with multiple prompt fields. In my prompt routine I get
the field prompted on using RTNCSRLOC(&CURREC &CURFLD). After the prompt
routine completes I wish to position the cursor to the field that the user
prompted on. I'm trying to do this avoiding the use of another indicator.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Rob
