Cursor Positioning Hierarchy

Cursor location is determined in the following sequence:

• The first field in error detected by internal validation
• A field identified as being in error by #OPT ERRFLD
• The first field designated as being in error by &ASSIGN OPT=SETERR

  Any field designated by &ASSIGN OPT=SETERR that is also identified by #OPT CURSOR takes precedence.

• A field or position identified by #OPT CURSOR=loc
• The first input field processed top to bottom, left to right
• The upper left corner of the panel (row 1, column 1 of the window)
• If the selected field cannot be displayed within the current window dimensions, the upper left corner of the panel (row 1, column 1 of the window)
