Hello Joe,

Another question not specific to RPG ...

It's been a while since I last used the DSM APIs but a quick read of the FM 
gives 
me the information that the window attributes are specifed in the first 
parameter 
of the QsnCrtWin API.  This parameter is the Window Description and is a 
structure 
which is also described in the manual.  The fields you are interested in are 
the 
border character flags:

   
     44   2C  CHAR(1)     Upper left border character                   
   
     45   2D  CHAR(1)     Top border character                          
   
     46   2E  CHAR(1)     Upper right border character                  
   
     47   2F  CHAR(1)     Left border character                         
   
     48   30  CHAR(1)     Right border character                        
   
     49   31  CHAR(1)     Lower left border character                   
   
     50   32  CHAR(1)     Bottom border character                       
   
     51   33  CHAR(1)     Lower right border character                  
   

The default values are . . . : : : . : respectively.  The 'blue line' you see 
is, I 
believe, the result of displaying the window on a GUI device such as PC5250 and 
is 
the default GUI character.  These can also be specified in the Window 
Description 
but you'll need to read the 5494 Functions Reference Manual to determine the 
GUI 
structures.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.

Subject: Dynamic Screen API

R've just started using these APIs and I'm trying to find the parameters on
the QsnCrtWin API that controls the window boundary character and color. I
believe that the default is a blue line.

Any help is greatly appreciated...
