Re: Change display attribute of message

Behaves differently, depending on the emulator and on
the destination. In DSPMSG or DSPJOBLOG, Personal
Communications substitutes spaces - might be a setting
somewhere. CAE 5250 substitutes reverse image spaces.

Status messages and Display Program Messages honor the
attribute.

Dare I say, YUK!
