Re: PRTF and hex codes

I wouldn't recommend it. IIRC, I've seen folks play around with embedding
PJL commands in a *SCS stream going to an HP Printer. But it's very
fragile to do so IMHO.

I don't really understand the issue you are describing for HIGHLIGHT.

Do you have the entire sentence in 1 field? Or is the number you want to
highlight its own field?

What are you actually printing too?

I know there is a way for RPG to add hex characters to a field to allow
certain words within a field to be in color, when displaying on a 5250

Does anyone know if there is a similar way to perform that function with a
PRTF that is defined as *SCS? I am specifically looking to have one "word"
[really a balance due] be bolded on the printout. Currently, the HIGHLIGHT
keyword is used, but because of the size of the field, there is a lot of
white space surrounding the number in its accompanying sentence. I was
thinking of composing a string in the program, not use HIGHLIGHT, and then
have RPG insert the Hex character for HIGHLIGHT [on] + HIGHLIGHT [off]. Is
that possible?

Thank you,
