&CURSCOL Variable

The &CURSCOL system variable is set on returning from an &PANEL statement and is used to determine the column where the cursor was positioned when the last entry was made.

If operating in split screen mode, the value in &CURSCOL is relative to the start of the operational window regardless of where that window is positioned on your screen. If the last entry was caused by the INWAIT timer expiring, the value returned in &CURSCOL is unreliable.
