Joe,

I usually want to keep the same paging, unless the user
specifically requests it. Otherwise it can be disconcerting when
every action shifts the target line to the top of the page. I guess
I'll have to play with the *TOP version and see if it behaves acceptably.

Okay, good luck. I understand your wanting to keep the paging normalized I'm still a bit confused, though. If the user switches the top, won't that become the "new normal"? At that point, if you then go back to the old style SFLRCDNBR, you'll shift the perceived top, won't you? It seems to me that if you are going to allow the user to change the base for the top, then you'll have to basically replicate the SFLRCDNBR logic yourself. Find out which record number of "top" + "multiple of page size" is less than the record you wish to display, and then put that in SFLRCDNBR. Then position the cursor using either a conditioned DSPATR(PC) or by absolute cursor positioning.
