4.2.3.3.8 Changing the Location of the Cursor

 






   The CHANGE.CURSOR command lets you change the location to which the cursor 
   returns after you press a program function (PF) key, the Enter key, the 
   CLEAR key, the attention (PA1) key, or the cancel (PA2) key. You can 
   establish a permanent or temporary location. 



   If you define a permanent location, the cursor returns to that location 
   each time you press one of the mentioned keys. If you define a temporary 
   location, the cursor moves to and remains at that location until the next 
   keyboard entry. After the keyboard entry, the cursor moves to the 
   permanent location. 



   The cursor is defined as being on a particular row and column within a 
   window. In the default screen layout, the permanent location of the cursor 
   is defined to be row 1 column 1 of the ENTRY window. A temporary cursor 
   location is not defined.
