Sent by: rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx



I would just like to confirm that there is still no way to display a
field in yellow or turquoise without also displaying column separators.
We are running out of highlight colors and want to use yellow, but we
get column separators. Blue has no column separators, but it is too dark.

I understand if I am using client access, I can change the column
separator color to black to match the background color and it will
disappear. This may be an option for us.

But I remember years ago, in another lifetime, on the Sys36, I could
flip a bit on the first character of the field (and flip it back at the
end) and it would display in color. I used this to set color on a
display array, in the days before we had subfiles.

Does anyone know if this technique will remove the column separator? Or
will I just spend a lot of time bit twiddling and still get yellow or
turquoise with column separators?
