The PANEL tag attributes, CURSOR, CSRINDEX, and CSRPOS, allow you to specify where the cursor is placed when the panel is initially displayed. If you do not specify a specific cursor position, ISPF places the cursor in the first field in the PANEL definition that can contain the cursor.

Use the CURSOR attribute to specify the field that is to contain the cursor. Use the CSRINDEX and CSRPOS attributes to identify positions within the field you specify with the CURSOR attribute. CSRINDEX and CSRPOS can only be used when the CURSOR attribute is used.
