Re: Subfile record coloring

  D Normal       s         1    Inz(x'20')                     
  D RI           s         1    Inz(x'21')                     
  D HI           s         1    Inz(x'22')  
 will give you normal, reverse image, and hilite.

the code would be something like:
 
   C        eval   textline = HI + date + Normal + RestOfText

Of course you can define colors, too.  There is a list of codes & colors in
the manual, but here's some popular ones:

Subject: Subfile record coloring
 
I have a subfile with a single, screen-wide record. This record will show
three different structures of data, based on DSs One of the structures has a
date as the first ten characters, and I would like to color that date
yellow, to visually offset it.
 
Is there any way to color a section of text within a single display file
field? I am thinking back to when I used to build ANSI display screens, and
you could send special characters to the screen that would change the
attributes of the following text.
