Hi,
When the user opens the application the cursor should go to particular
field and nth position wihtin the field. How to achieve this in Oracle
Forms either 6i or 9i please? We have Solaris 2.8 platform and Oracle
8i and 9i databases.

go_item() may take to a particular field. Is it correct? If I want to
take the cursor to the second or third position within the field, how
to achieve this?

Thanks and regards
Raj

Are you referring to a multi-record block or to the position between the
nth and n+1th characters?
