Syntax:
POS(0)
Description:
POS returns the current column number of the cursor in the current display mode
selected by a
SCREEN statement, as an integer.
• Even if the cursor is invisible (by a
LOCATE statement), the POS function oper-
ates.
• If the maximum value in the current screen mode is returned, it means that the
cursor stays outside of the rightmost column.
• (0) is a dummy parameter that can have any value or expression, but generally it
is 0.
• The range of the column numbers does not differ between the regular-size and
double-width characters.
• For the current row number of the cursor, refer to the
CSRLIN function.
