Does anyone know if it is possible to change the color of the message text send using SNDMSG?

I thought that perhaps something like...

CHGVAR %SST(&MSG 1 1) &HEX
CHGVAR %SST(&MSG 2 99) &TEXT
SNDMSG MSG(&MSG) TOUSR(CRISPIN)

..might work, where &HEX = X'28' (RED).

It appears not...

Thanks for any thoughts.

Depends on where the message is displayed. Works OK when sent as a *STATUS message to the external queue of the job. I think it still works OK when sent to a message subfile. Won't work when sent to a UIM display (such as DSPMSG panel). This technique used to work ... on System/38. OS/400 has specific support to remove such shenanigans-- not sure of the rationale behind that behaviour.

Can't even embed colour in object text any more either.

Simon Coulter.
