SETCURSORTOFIELD Function

Moves the cursor to the specified field, or piece of text or subfile cell.

This function is intended to programmatically manipulate the coordinates (5250 row and column) of the underpinning 5250 screen cursor - rather than anything visual on the currently displayed web page. Typically a call to this function is immediately followed by a SENDKEY function call.

Syntax

SETCURSORTOFIELD(sFieldName, iInd)

Parameters

sFieldName	Required. A string that contains the name of the field to set the cursor to. This can be any named field or text or subfile column.
iInd	Required for subfiles. Integer, must be greater than zero. For subfile fields this is the specific instance of the field (the row within the column).

Return Value

None

Remarks

The cursor can be set to any named field or text or subfile column on the screen.

Example

Set the cursor to the field named as givename, in RAMP-TS

SETCURSORTOFIELD("givename");

Set the cursor to the field named ColDepartment in a subfile, fifth row down

SETCURSORTOFIELD("ColDeptment", 5);
