Static positioning of the cursor

GDDM V3R2 Base Application Programming Guide
SC33-0867-01



You specify a static position using the ATTRIBUTE CURSOR command on the Field Attribute Definition frame of GDDM-IMD's map editor. The static specification is put in effect by an MSDFLD call or a write-type MSPUT call, as follows:

  • For a new page, a static cursor position is established by the first MSDFLD that refers to a map that has a static specification.
    
    
  • After an ASREAD (or other I/O operation), a static position is reestablished by the first MSDFLD or write-type MSPUT that refers to such a map.
    
    

Rewrite- and reject-type MSPUT calls have no effect on the static cursor position.
