The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Simon,
Thanks. I had a feeling I was on the wrong path...

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the color of the

I thought that perhaps something like...
CHGVAR %SST(&MSG 1 1) &HEX
CHGVAR %SST(&MSG 2 99) &TEXT
SNDMSG MSG(&MSG) TOUSR(CRISPIN)
..might work, where &HEX = X'28' (RED).
It appears not...
Thanks for any thoughts.
Depends on where the message is displayed. Works OK when sent as a
*STATUS message to the external queue of the job. I think it still
works OK when sent to a message subfile. Won't work when sent to a
UIM display (such as DSPMSG panel). This technique used to work ...
on System/38. OS/400 has specific support to remove such shenanigans--
not sure of the rationale behind that behaviour.
Can't even embed colour in object text any more either.
Regards,
Simon Coulter.
