is there a way to use DSPATR(PC) to control cursor on a screen that
displays multiple record formats?

Example:
Cursor will not just to SCN2FLD even when *in33 is *on.

DDS:
A          R SCN1A    
A            SCN1FLD        3A  B  4 26
A  32                                  DSPATR(PC)

A          R SCN1B    
A                                      INVITE
A                                      OVERLAY
A            SCN2FLD        3A  B 10 26
A  33                                  DSPATR(PC)


In RPG:
     C                   write     SCRN1A
     C                   write     SCRN1B
     C                   read(e)   BL8326DF
