Position to a protected field

[mukundan_mv]

Hi to all,
In display file i am facing a problem. I have to position to a protected field which is having a prompt on it. That field has to be protected from entry but has to populated from prompt.

When tab is pressed on the FLD1 it has to position to FLD2 instead of FLD3.

FLD1 : BBBBBBBBB
FLD2 : BBBBBBBBB + (Protected Field)
FLD3 : BBBBBBBBB


Thanks in advance...

Re: Position to a protected field

untried but....maybe you can use the position cursor attribute on the display file. use the same indicator you use for protecting the field on the PC attribute specifying position cursor when NOT on.

psuedo-code:
protect when *in50 = *On;
position cursor when Not *in50

Just as a caveat, you won't be able to use CSRINPONLY if you want to put the cursor on that field to prompt.
