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?
