- data-name-1
- Must be a 4- or 6-byte alphanumeric field or a 4- or 6-byte unsigned
zoned integer field. If data-name-1 is 4 characters in length, the first
two characters are interpreted as line number, and the second two as column
number. If data-name-1 is 6 characters in length, the first three characters
are interpreted as line number, and the second three as column number.
The clause has no effect if data-name-1 contains an invalid position value (such as zeros, a nonnumeric value, or a value that is beyond the range of the screen).
Data-name-1 must be described in the WORKING-STORAGE or LOCAL-STORAGE SECTIONS. If data-name-1 is referenced from a nested program, it must be defined as global in the outermost program.
