Rules Function › Add Rule to a Ruleset › Specify Rule Actions › Change the Cursor Location

Change the Cursor Location

Follow these steps:

1. Type 9 on the Add Rules—Rule Actions Menu to display the Add Rule Action—Cursor Location panel.

   This panel has two purposes:

   • To identify a new location for the cursor and then compare the cursor's location to make sure it is the correct one, or
   • To set the cursor as a variable so that no comparison is done on the cursor location.

   Note: A rule can contain a maximum of one input cursor change and one output cursor change.

   A sample panel is shown next.

2. For a description of the RULE NAME, TEST STREAM NAME, and RULESET NAME fields, see the section Use the Rules Function Panels.

   CURSOR LOCATION

   The current value for ROW and COLUMN are listed in the ORIGINAL VALUE column. Type the new values for ROW and COLUMN in the CHANGE TO column.

   Note: A change in cursor location is only valid if you specify Y for the COMPARE CURSOR LOCATION field.

   COMPARE CURSOR LOCATION

   Indicates whether you want to compare the location of the cursor. Valid values are Y (yes) or N (no). Specifying N means that no comparison will be done, making the cursor location a variable.

   OUTPUT/INPUT FIELD

   Indicates whether the criteria specified on this panel applies to the output or input version of the screen. Valid values are I (input) or O (output).

   Note: If the criteria apply to both output and input versions of the screen, you must create two rule actions—one for output and one for input.
