Re: Positioning cursor on a subfile record

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try positioning by row and column?  You know the column number, and the 
row is line1 of the subfile -1 + sflrcdnbr

If you make the field Both and DSPATR(PR), that should work too.

You should also be able to use ERRMSG('Don''t do that, fool' 33) right 
after the Field you are marking.
