| Hello!
I work with Microfocus cobol net-express 4. When I want to get user input in my program, I define a Variable for my screen section, for instance:
03 ssmyfield line 20 col 5 pic x using bsmyfield.
and write "accept bsmyfield". When I run the programm and I get to the input field, the program waits for my input and the cursor blinks.
My question is now: Sometimes I need to go to an input field with no cursor blinking, but the next field should blink again (on the same page).
I tried to write: "03 ssmyfield line 20 col5 pic x using bsmyfield no blink" but this does not work.
I also know the X"A7" function 17 - Set Cursor Type (of which I do not know how it works), but Microfocus writes as a comment to this function "Before using this routine, use the CBL_CLEAR_SCR routine, to prevent possible errors." => so I cannot use this (because I cannot clear the screen between two user inputs on the same page).
Thanks in advance
