Set Cursor Address (DC3)
The DC3 control character (l3H) sets a new cursor position for the
selected page using normal addressing as described above. Typically, this
cursor address is used as the reference address for subsequent keyboard
input. You can use this control sequence to access any screen position up
to 96 columns. The DC3 character must be followed by two encoded
ASCII characters that specify the new row and column positions for the
cursor. The following sequence sets the new cursor location to row 5,
column 2:
13H $ !
In protect submode, if the new cursor address is a protected position, the
cursor moves to the first position of the next unprotected field.
Note For information about cursor movement in EM3270 mode, see
“Cursor Positioning” on page 3-68.
Set Cursor Address Extended (Esc - D)
The Esc - D sequence sets a new cursor position for the selected page
with extended addressing format (as described in “Cursor and Buffer
Addressing” on page 3-13). You can use this escape sequence to access
all positions for any screen format selected. The format for the escape
sequence is as follows:
Esc - row ; column D
where;
row and column are decimal numbers that specify the new cursor
location.
D terminates the sequence.
For example, the following sequence sets the new cursor location to row
5, column 72:
1BH - 5;72 D
In protect submode, if the new cursor address is a protected position, the
cursor moves to the first position in the next unprotected field.
