Re: Subfile "move to top" function

["M. Lazarus" <mlazarus@xxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

 Here's my dilemma.  I basically have 2 requirements:

1) As described, the movement of the selected record to the top of 
the page, essentially a position-to.

2) The default type of behavior from SFLRCDNBR, namely the display of 
the proper page with the cursor positioned at that record.

 Is it possible to have both behaviors using the SFL keywords or do 
I have to pick one and program around the other?
