Current Record Indicator

Multi-record blocks often display a current record indicator to the left of each record. A current record indicator is a one character field that when filled in, identifies a record as being the current or 'active' record.

Figure 1 - 35.

Sometimes, a current record indicator appears as a two character-wide field, indicating that the current multi-record block supports a capability called drill-down. Drill-down lets you click on a current record indicator to navigate directly to another window that displays either details of the current record or information related to the current record. See: Combination Block.
