I don't know if this is useful to you, but x5250 can be compiled to put an '@' on the screen everytime it encounters a display attribute. This way you could check to see if the attribute is there or not.

To use it you need a *nix box (linux, *BSD, mac OS X, or even linux on an lpar) and tn5250. x5250 is at:

Simply add -DDEBUG to your CFLAGS environment variable before running ./configure and @ will be placed in every attribute position.
