RE: Position cursor on a field without using indicator

Hi,

You just set XLIN## to the line on which Filed BB is placed and then change
the value of XPOS## to the position of the first character of BB


If you generally want to position on BB even though it is not the first
entry field then just use the field attribute PC to position the cursor
(DSPATR(PC))

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards / Bien à vous,

Seán Courtney

Hi,

RTNCSRLOC(&CSRC## &CSFL##) : to retrieve the current cursor location

XLIN## 3S 0H
XPOS## 3S 0H
CSRLOC(XLIN## XPOS##) : you can use these to reposition a
cursor manually

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards / Bien à vous,

Seán Courtney ?

Hi all

I have an old (very old program) where i have used all the indicators and i
would need , for some errors, position the cursors in a specific field;
question: is there other way to position the cursor, without using an
indicator ?

Thanks in advance
