You cannot program the behavior of arrow keys, nor monitor for arrow key presses on 5250 terminals. However there is a DDS keyword that may function in a way similar to your needs. That is SFLSNGCHC. You can set an option to control whether the user can use arrow keys to move the cursor out of the choice subfile by selecting the *RSTCSR/*NORSTCSR. And there does not appear to be any restriction on using SFLLIN to get multiple columns. You can have it display radio buttons or not by using *SLTIND/*NOSLTIND. Look in the DDS manual; there is a simple example for SFLSNGCHC.

Subject: Subfile (20 rows, 4 columns per page) arrow keys to move between sfl records


I have my subfile coded to return the SFRRN on enter, and going up and
down works like the user wishes, but they would like when I move left and
right the cursor would jump to the sfl record to the left or right......

I am thinking I need a routine to trap JUST the arrow keys, and then update
the subfile with POSCUR to move the cursor (and a plus would be
highlighting the subfile record..)

has someone some code they could share?
