SETCURSORTOFIELD Function
Moves the cursor to the specified field, or piece of text or subfile cell.
This function is intended to programmatically manipulate the coordinates (5250 row and column) of the underpinning 5250 screen cursor - rather than anything visual on the currently displayed web page. Typically a call to this function is immediately followed by a SENDKEY function call.

Remarks
The cursor can be set to any named field or text or subfile column on the screen.
