Parameters

CMDLINE
The cursor is positioned at the first character of the command line when the panel is displayed. If you then move the cursor into a BODY section, the cursor remains in that position when you scroll up or down or after you press a function key, unless a status update occurs.

This is the default.

STATUSFIELD
The cursor is positioned at the first character of the very first status field when the panel is displayed. The very first status field is the status field (CELL or STATUSFIELD) with the lowest absolute screen location.

Examples

BODYSCROLL = STATUSFIELD
