Author Subject: migration HP3000/HP9000 cursor positioning      Add to my favorites

Hi all,
I'm working on a migration of Cobol programs from HP3000 to HP9000. Up till now the interactive programs work fine except for one ‘little’ (I hope) problem.
In my cobol programs I use escapes for locking and unlocking the display at a certain point. This works fine with MF cobol on the HP9000. However when I try to position the cursor at a specific column and row, it won’t work. On the HP3000 the escape is ”esc&a00c17Y”. Now I thought when I change the octal value of the escape in decimal (which works fine using locking and unlocking escapes) it would work. It doesn’t work!
Could someone help me out with this please?
