Enhanced New Line; Cursor Position Indicator - IBM 3270 User Manual

Enhanced New Line
Press the New Line key to move the cursor to a new line. The New Line key
observes the left margin and moves the cursor to the left margin of the next row.
If the left margin is protected, the cursor moves to the first unprotected position to
the right of the left margin within the entry areas.
Unprotected null characters on the new line (from the position to the left of the left
I margin, and within the same field as the cursor) change to spaces.®
The cursor wraps the screen. If the cursor is on the last row of the display, it
moves to the first unprotected location of the first row (within the margins).
If the entire screen within the margins is protected, the cursor moves to the left
margin of the first screen row.
Cursor Position Indicator
Press the Cursor Position Indicator key (CR PCS) to see an exact cursor location.
The current position of the cursor is displayed in columns 75 through 80 of the
operator information area as row and column (rr/cc) data. Row data has a value
between 1 and 43, and column data has a value between 1 and 80.
The indicator is reset when you press another key (or release the ALT key) or

I a cursor position.
