Note
The default initial cursor position is in the upper left corner of the screen.
Compaq COBOL moves the cursor to this initial position just prior to
the execution of the first ACCEPT or DISPLAY statement. This is true
regardless of the format of the statement, unless you specify the cursor
position.
In Example 11–2 and in Figure 11–3, "Employee name:" is displayed on line 19
starting in column 4.
