Thanx Rory, Adam and Booth,

It works.  Maybe this time I will remember it for a bit longer.

Booth, I was trying your method, but I don't have room on my screen to add 
the extra character to all of the fields I will be using.


Thanx,

Nick

Re: Screen display colors from RPG






Try this:
  C     eval  newfield = CConst + variable

newfield must be one longer than the variable or you will drop the last 
character of the variable.

Hello everyone,

I am trying to output different colors onto my display file, without 
using 
indicators in my RPG.

I created Constants with the hex value of the colors I need.  I then 
move 
my file value into my output field, and then move the color constant to 
the first byte of my output field.  It changes the color of the field 
when 
I run the program, but it overlays the first character, so nothing shows 

in the first character.

I thought all I had to do was move my color constant into the first byte 

and everything would be fine.

It has been double digit years since the last time I did this, and it 
worked then.  I am just getting too old to remember.:-)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We are at V4R5.


TIA,

Nick
