CSRINPONLY (Cursor Movement to Input-Capable Positions Only) keyword for display files

Use this file- or record-level keyword to restrict cursor movement to input-capable positions only. This keyword only affects cursor movement caused by using the arrow keys.

This keyword has no parameters.

You should take care when defining help when this keyword is in effect. The user might not be able to position the cursor in the area where help is valid.

See the Application Display Programming book Link to PDF for more information about the CSRINPONLY keyword.

Option indicators are valid for this keyword.

Example

The following example shows how to specify the CSRINPONLY keyword.

|...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8
     A                                      CSRINPONLY
     A          R RECORD1
     A                                  1 10'ONE--:'
     A            FIELD1        10A  I  1 20TEXT('ONE')
     A                                  2 10'TWO--:'
     A            FIELD2        10A  I  2 20TEXT('TWO')
     A                                  3 10'THREE--:'
     A            FIELD3        10A  I  3 20TEXT('THREE')
     A                                  4 10'FOUR--:'
     A            FIELD4        10A  I  4 20TEXT('FOUR')
     A                                  5 10'OUT--:'
     A            FIELD5        10A  O  5 20TEXT('OUT')
     A

This example shows RECORD1 is defined with input, output, and constant fields. Because CSRINPONLY is specified, the user will only be able to position the cursor in either FIELD1, FIELD2, FIELD3, or FIELD4. FIELD5 and all other areas of the display are not accessible by the cursor.
