Set cursor and Get cursor are different utilities .They differ as follows:

The Set Cursor is used to place cursor on a particular input

field.

whereas Get cursor can be used to put the cursor control on a particular line.

set cursor :

During PBO processing, this statement sets the cursor in the screen layout of the current screen. The cursor can be positioned by entering a screen element after FIELD or by entering a specific position using col and lin. Outside of PBO processing, the cursor is positioned in the next list displayed on the screen.

Get cursor:

If this statement is specified during PAI processing, depending on the specification for FIELD or LINE, it transfers either the name of the screen element or the number of the row of a table control or of the group of a step loop (on which the screen cursor is positioned after a user action) into the data objects field or line.

Hi Deepak.

Firstly, We can set the cursor at any event.

For example: set/get cursor field.

May be any event, the cursor is set/the cursor position of that field is obtained/set. The cursor position at which event you want to get/set for that event triggering.

Coming to the differences:

Simply, GET CURSOR deals with knowing the cursor position of that field, line, etc during triggering of an event.

SET CURSOR deals with placing the cursor at a particular position / field/ line, etc.
