SET_CURSOR

Use this statement when you plan to execute and debug your 3270 server script using the Blueworx Voice Response virtual host support, described in the Blueworx Voice Response for AIX: Designing and Managing State Table Applications information.

The SET_CURSOR statement is not available from the Statements menu. Use the syntax described below to type the statement into your script.

If the specified field is not found in the database, the EX_NO_FIELD exception definition script is invoked. By default, the script is abnormally terminated. To handle a failed SET_CURSOR statement in a different way, you need to write an exception handler for this condition, as described in EXCEPTION.

Syntax

Example

SET_CURSOR ( logon.command_line );
