SYSTEM.CURSOR_RECORD system variable
Syntax
SYSTEM.CURSOR_RECORD
Description
SYSTEM.CURSOR_RECORD represents the number of the record where the cursor is located. This
number represents the record’s current physical order in the block’s list of records. The value is always a
character string.
SYSTEM.CURSOR_RECORD examples
Assume that you want to redefine [Previous Item] on the first text item of the ITEMS block so that it
navigates to the last text item of the ORDERS block if the current record is the first record. The
following Key-PRV-ITEM trigger on the ITEMS.ORDERID text item performs this function.
IF :System.Cursor_Record = ’1’
THEN Go_Item(’orders.total’);
ELSE Previous_Item;
END IF;
