If I want to jump to a field with editable text, can I land in the

first.
How are you jumping from one field to a field with editable text?
If you assign a <Component ID> to a field with editable text, you
may use the specific PROPERTY commands to selectively focus the
field and then automatically place the cursor at the last position.
Here's how:
Using the latest version/update of R:BASE eXtreme 9.1 or 9.5 .....
01. Assign the <Component ID> to a field with editable text
02. Now use the following PROPERTY commands, as "On Exit EEP ..."
on the field from where you are planning to jump from, to
selectively focus the field with editable text, and then
automatically place the cursor at the last position to continue
typing, etc.
PROPERTY <Component ID> SET_FOCUS 'TRUE'
PROPERTY <Component ID> LASTCHAR 'TRUE'
RETURN
That's all there is to it!
For more details, examples, and defining correct syntax, refer
