ABAP Alternative 1 ... FIELD field $[LINE line$] $[$[DISPLAY$] OFFSET off$]

What does it do?
The cursor is positioned on the screen element whose name is contained in uppercase letters in field. The data object field must be character-like and flat. The screen layout or a table control is scrolled in the display so that the screen element on which the cursor is positioned is visible. If the specified screen element is not found, the statement is ignored.
If the specified screen element is part of a table control or a step loop, the line of the table control or group of the step loop in which the cursor is positioned on the specified screen element must be specified using the addition LINE . The data object line expects the type i. If there is no row or group for the value of line, or the addition LINE is not specified, the statement is ignored. The statement is also ignored if the addition LINE is specified and the screen element is not part of a table control or step loop.
If the addition OFFSET is not specified, the cursor is set to the first position of the screen element. Using the addition OFFSET, the cursor can be set to the position in a screen element entered in off, where the counter begins at 0. The position of the cursor is only visible in input/output fields. In other screen elements, the whole element is selected. The data object off expects the type i . If the value of off is greater than the length of the screen element, the addition is ignored. If the value of off is negative, the cursor is positioned at the end of the screen element. The addition DISPLAY is standard and can be omitted.

The counting of the columns starts at 2. If the screen element is not an input/output field, the entire element is selected. If no screen element is available at the specified positions, or if the cursor is positioned in a table control or tabstrip control, or if negative values are entered in col or lin, the statement is ignored.
