Re: SFLPGMMSGQ - Colorize?

["Paul Nelson" <pnelson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Slightly off-topic, but why display messages in red? A large percentage of
men are color blind, and can't see the color red. I learned this by accident
many years ago, when I thought I was being clever and displayed error
messages in red. When I demonstrated this to the CFO of the company, he
didn't think it was quite so clever. He wrestled with a new screen program
for about 15 minutes, until someone told him that there was an error message
on the screen. As you might well guess, he couldn't see it (he also could
not see blue very well).

Guess who got to pull an all-nighter "fixing" the screens?
