Re: Position Cursor and Reverse Image on Green Screen -- RPG400-L

OK, would this technique work for you?

// Remove use of INDDS and INDARA (DDS) altogether
dcl-s IndPtr Pointer Inz(%Addr(*IN));
dcl-ds dsIndic Based(IndPtr);
     F03                ind pos(3);
     F05                ind pos(5);
     F12                ind pos(12);
     F23                ind pos(23);
     F24                ind pos(24);
     posToRtGf          ind pos(41);
     posToRtGd          ind pos(42);
     posToDayT          ind pos(43);
end-ds;

     posToRtGf = *On;
// Now *IN41 = *IN(41) = posToRtGF = '1' - all the same variable

OK... Thanks Charles, it's making more sense now.

That doesn't necessarily work well with the logic in our legacy ERP.
They use an array of "error message ids" along with a matching array of indicators
So if you populate ERROR(41) it sets on *IN41 which positions the cursor.

In some of my "newer" greenscreen programs, I used INDDS for Function keys and subfile control.
Maybe in this case, I should remove it and name them another way?

You don't need to remove INDDS...

You simply need to include the other indicators you plan to use
dcl-ds dsIndic;
F03 ind pos(3);
F05 ind pos(5);
F12 ind pos(12);
F23 ind pos(23);
F24 ind pos(24);
posToRtGf ind pos(41);
posToRtGd ind pos(42);
posToDayT ind pos(43);
....
end-ds;

The use of INDDS means that the display file has a completely separate set of indicators that the built in RPG *INxx ones.

So, I removed the INDDS keyword from the display file and the keywords
now all function as they should.
I guess you can't mix that with conditioning indicators??

What a waste of an afternoon... thanks for your help, though!

Thanks for the suggestions, but that's not what I'm seeing...
The other indicators are all off according to debug, and I do see
CSRLOC keyword.

I did find one issue.

I am using: INDDS(dsIndic) on the display file definition, using it
to name the function keys that I'm using

dcl-f HH125FM workstn devid(swid) indds(dsIndic);

dcl-ds dsIndic;
F03 ind pos(3);
F05 ind pos(5);
F12 ind pos(12);
F23 ind pos(23);
F24 ind pos(24);
end-ds;

So that could have interfered with Indicators 01 through 24.

I have recoded the display file to use 41 instead of 01, 42 instead of
02, etc for the Reverse Image and Color keywords.

Back in debug, 42 is on both before and after EXFMT SCREEN01. Yet,
neither keyword seems to be applied.

Hi Greg,

maybe *in41 is on too?

The rest looks OK from here - PC is position cursor - at least last
time I looked into the DDS manual.

But concurrent PCs are evaluated from upper-left to lower-right - so
another PC active looks like the only solution.

It's been a while since I've worked on a green screen application.
I

have a screen where, upon error of a specific field, the PC and RI
should be enabled (via indicator). I've verified in debug that two
indicators are on before EXFMT SCREEN01. But the cursor goes to the
first input field and the field is not reverse image.

In this case, there is an error with field S1RTGD. Indicators 02
and 42

are *ON. Yet the cursor is positioned on field S1RTGF (the first
input capable field on the screen).

What am I missing?

From the display file:

A S1RTGF 1A B 7 29DSPATR(UL)
A 01 DSPATR(RI)
A 41 DSPATR(PC)
A 01 COLOR(WHT)
A S1DSC1 30A O 7 32

A S1RTGD 3A B 8 29DSPATR(UL)
A 02 DSPATR(RI)
