TERMINAL INFORMATION
SUPPORTED TERMINALS AND FEATURES
VGETSCPDATA Returns information about the cursor location by field
number and row and column number on a VPlus screen.
These intrinsics enable application programs to determine where the cursor was left on a
VPlus screen after a read operation. The information returned to the application varies
with the intrinsic used.
Usage
These intrinsics should be called in an application at certain points of the transaction flow:
• Call VARMSCP at the
beginning of each VPlus transaction where cursor information is
required. Typically, this is prior to a call to VSHOWFORM and preceding VREADFIELDS.
• Call VGETSCPFIELD or VGETSCPDATA at the
end of a VPlus transaction to collect the
cursor position or location information. This is after a call to VREADFIELDS.
NOTE Important Details! Please Read.
• Cursor position sensing is available on DTC-connected terminals only.
• These intrinsics work only on terminals that have the capability to return
cursor location information. These terminals are:
