Another solution is DSPATR(ND), which can also be done as a program to
system field (no indicators):

A            FLDA          10   B 10  2TEXT('Generic input/output')
A                                      DSPATR(&FLDAATR)
A            FLDAATR        1   P

 * field attribute bit patterns
d NO              s              1a   inz(x'00')
no attrs
d RI              s              1a   inz(x'01')
reverse
d HI              s              1a   inz(x'02')
highlight
d UL              s              1a   inz(x'04')
underline
d ND              s              1a   inz(x'07')
non display
d BL              s              1a   inz(x'08')
blink
d NP              s              1a   inz(x'20')
non protect
d CS              s              1a   inz(x'30')
column sep
d PR              s              1a   inz(x'80')
protect

 * reset all attributes
c                   eval      FLDAATR = NP
 * reverse, blink
c                   biton     RI            FLDAATR
c                   biton     BL            FLDAATR
