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?

As far as I know the answer is, unfortunately, "yes". But understand that you're asking the system to do two different things: put the record you want at the top, and put some other record on the top. Why do you want two different behaviors?

But assuming you do want two different behaviors, you'll have to program the latter. You'll have to figure out which record "should" be on top, and then either use a DSPATR(PC) on a subfile field and condition it with an indicator, or use absolute row and column positioning of the cursor and calculate it yourself. To me, it's more trouble than it's worth, but it can be done.
