Re: Yellow in DSPF -- RPG400-L

Bill,

The problem with this method is that the column separators reappear when the background colour changes (e.g. when a field is made reverse image). The better solution is:

From the menu bar choose "Edit", "Preferences", "Appearance", second option (I have a Dutch version; should be something like "Screen characteristics"). Scroll the left column down and click the option that displays "Num" - "01/001". Now you can choose the type of column separator you want: "Line", "Point" or "Off". (If you have only two options, it is high time you upgrade to a more recent version of Client Access, oops, iSeries Access).

Last week, James Newman had a thread going about the column separators with
Yellow color attributes.  No one actually showed him how to hide the column
separators in Client Access so I thought I'd detail it, so his Yellow
fields look natural.

Assuming the use of Client Access emulation:

On the Menu bar, click on "Edit", "Preferences", "Appearance", "Color
Mapping".
Then click the "Advanced" button.
Under "Category:" click on Others.
Under "Element:" click on Column Separator.
Finally drag the Foreground color to be the same as the Background color
(usually Black).
Click on "Okay" and your column separators will disappear.
