Value |
Meaning |
Default |
Use the active setting for FieldCursorPositioning in the Parent Screen Definition. |
Direction By Character (default) |
Can reposition the cursor using up, down, left and right positioning keys. Each move of the cursor is one row or column, irrespective of defined input fields. |
Direction By Field |

Custom Keystrokes |
The PositionCustomKeys property is used to provide the keystroke(s) used to move the cursor directly to this field. |
