How do you call font settings in a WSCST -- COBOL400-L

The default WSCST for an HP5Si contains the following entries:

   :STRBOLD
     DATA ='1B28733342'X.
   :ENDBOLD
     DATA ='1B28733042'X.
   :STRSUBS
     DATA ='1B26612B2E3352'X.
   :ENDSUBS
     DATA ='1B26612D2E3352'X.
   :STRSUPS
     DATA ='1B26612D2E3352'X.
   :ENDSUPS
     DATA ='1B26612B2E3352'X.
   :STRUS
     DATA ='1B26643044'X.
   :ENDUS
     DATA ='1B266440'X.

Is there a way to "call" these "commands" in a COBOL WRITE statement? The objective is to to print something like "Your current account balance is _$x,xxx.xx_." where the dollar amount is underlined (as indicated by '_') and in bold.

As always, thanks in advance,
