Variables
5.16 CURPOS variable
5.16 CURPOS variable
Description
The CURPOS variable calls or manipulates the position of the cursor in the active input field
of the current dialog. The variable shows how many characters are in front of the cursor. If the
cursor is located at the start of the input field, then CURPOS assumes the value of 0. If the
value of CURPOS is changed, then the cursor is positioned at the appropriate location in the
input field.
In order to be able to respond to changes in the variable value, it is possible to monitor for
changes using a CHANGE method. If the value of CURPOS changes, then a jump is made to
the CHANGE method and the instructions contained there are executed.
