The Set Cursor Address (QsnSetCsrAdr) API sets the position of the cursor on the screen. The display address is not affected by this command if this is an indirect operation and the target command buffer contains an active Write to Display (WTD) command. Otherwise, a WTD command will be inserted that resets the display address to row 1 column 1.
This command corresponds indirectly to the 5250 Write to Display command (WTD) with an Insert Cursor or Move Cursor order. (For an indirect operation, a WTD is placed in the command buffer only if one does not already exist in that buffer.) The Move Cursor order is used if the control unit supports it (based on the 5250 Query command). Otherwise, the Insert Cursor order is used.
If the Move Cursor order is supported, this API sets the cursor without modifying the home address and without regard to the state of the keyboard. Otherwise, the behavior is the same as that of the Insert Cursor (QsnInsCsr) API.
If multiple QsnSetCsrAdr operations are applied to the same command buffer, only the last QsnSetCsrAdr operation is in effect. The last QsnSetCsrAdr or QsnInsCsr operation determines the cursor position. If the Move Cursor order is used, the QsnSetCsrAdr negates any previous QsnInsCsr commands in the command buffer, except for the last QsnInsCsr, which sets the home position. If the Insert Cursor order is used, it negates any previous QsnInsCsr operations. If the Move Cursor order is supported, you can set the home position and then move the cursor by issuing a QsnInsCsr first, followed by a QsnSetCsrAdr operation.
None
The same restrictions apply as for the Write Data (QsnWrtDta) API.
The field ID indicating the field at which to set the display address. If this parameter is specified with a nonzero value, the row and column parameters are ignored and the row and column values corresponding to the field ID are used to set the display address. Either the field ID or the row and column parameters must be specified.
The row at which to position the cursor. The row parameter must refer to a row no greater than the current screen or window mode height (if window mode is enabled). The actual screen row used for a screen I/O operation is calculated using the formula base+offset=actual. The base is the row location of the top window border (0 for full screen) if offset is positive, or the row location of the bottom window border (screen height plus 1 for full screen) if offset is negative. The offset is the row parameter value specified, and actual is the actual screen row to be used. A CPFA307 error occurs if an incorrect row value is specified.
The column at which to position the cursor. The column parameter must refer to a column no greater than the current screen or window mode width (if window mode is on). The actual screen column used for a screen I/O operation is calculated using the formula base+offset=actual. The base is the column location of the left window border (0 for full screen) if offset is positive, or the column location of the center window border (screen width plus 1 for full screen) if offset is negative. The offset is the column parameter value specified, and actual is the actual screen column to be used. A CPFA307 error occurs if an incorrect column value is specified.
A handle for the command buffer in which to store the command. If this parameter is omitted or specified as 0, this is a direct operation and the cursor is positioned at the specified location immediately. Otherwise, this is an indirect operation and the command is stored in the command buffer without an I/O operation taking place.
The low-level environment that the operation applies to. If this parameter is omitted or given with a value of zero, the default low-level environment is used.
The structure in which to return error information. For the format of the structure, see Error code parameter. If this parameter is omitted, diagnostic and escape messages are issued to the application.
A return code indicating the result of the operation. The value returned will be 0 if the operation was successful, or -1 otherwise.
