Re: Positioning cursor on a subfile record

I believe you need to set a DSPATR(PC) to the field in the record where you want the cursor, and update that record in the subfile. Make sure there are no other DSPATR(PC). Then set the SFLRCDNBR and do an EXFMT on the subfile control.

Michael,

I have tried your suggestion. After the user presses a command key on a
particular record, I set the value of the hidden field associated with
SFLRCDNBR in the DDS to what's in the hidden field associated with
SFLCSRRRN in the DDS (which contains the record number for the record the
user selected), and then an EXFMT of the subfile control record happens
(there is a WRITE of a different display format immediately before this
that displays command key text). Still positions to the first record of
the subfile. No DSPATR(PC) in play for this subfile.

Looking at the definition of SFLRCDNBR, it says that using this keyword
displays "the page of the subfile containing the record whose relative
record number is contained in this field". So am I interpreting it wrong
that it will actually position it to the SPECIFIC subfile record? Because
there are only 3 records in the entire subfile, so if you take this
definition literally, positioning the cursor to the first record is
technically displaying the page of the subfile that contains the record the
user selected. Maybe I've got the wrong keyword for positioning on a
specific record?
