Hello.
Can anyone explain why the following code snippet doesn't work as
expected? (This has prev gone to Google Groups, was advised to wait until
our z/OS upgrade from 1.7 to 1.9 had been completed - it has - but the
same thing still happens.)
I would expect it to leave the member with line 401 at the top, and the
cursor on line 412, pos21. The FIND string is on line 412 - I want the
cursor to stay with the FOUND string, but to change the line that appears
at the top of the display.
/* rexx */
address isredit
"macro"
"FIND WS-MODULE-IDENTIFIER"
"locate 401"
"cursor = 412 21"
If I *remove* the FIND command, it correctly locates and positions the
cursor. That is, line 401 is at the top of the display, the cursor
appears on line 412.
*With* the FIND command, it positions the display according to my
EDITSETting "Target Line for Find/etc", ignoring the LOCATE command.
If I place the CURSOR command *before* the LOCATE command, it obeys the
LOCATE but loses the cursor placement (cursor in command line). Same if I
remove the CURSOR line completely.
Is this a bug in ISPF, or an undocumented "feature" in the generally
not-very-good IBM documentation, which I have explored in depth?
