The CHANGE.CURSOR command lets you change the location to which the cursor returns after you press a program function (PF) key, the Enter key, the CLEAR key, the attention (PA1) key, or the cancel (PA2) key. You can establish a permanent or temporary location.

If you define a permanent location, the cursor returns to that location each time you press one of the mentioned keys. If you define a temporary location, the cursor moves to and remains at that location until the next keyboard entry. After the keyboard entry, the cursor moves to the permanent location.

The cursor is defined as being on a particular row and column within a window. In the default screen layout, the permanent location of the cursor is defined to be row 1 column 1 of the ENTRY window. A temporary cursor location is not defined.
