It depends on the character set you use. The character set I use maintains the space put replaces them with a rectangle. I use Courier.

Subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] Colour hex codes

I looked at the APAR and it has been closed recently with the mention
that "As long as the underlying operating system does not support
rendering of these characters, RDP will no longer support them".
So it looks that we don't have a choice we have to remove these characters.

Thinking a little bit more about it, the color characters are a problem
only when they are in positions 1 to 5. When they are after the comment
marker, I don't feel they are a problem. For instance if I have
something like the following ( _ represents the color character )
*_A comment
In SEU, I would have everything up and including the * in green and the
rest of the comment in color. In RD Power I would get
*A comment

At work, I will propose that we move the color codes to the right of the
comment marker. If a non comment line is colored (rare in our case), we
will loose that coloring. The utility that does that should probably
also give a warning if any color codes are found outside of comments.

Have a nice day.
Thierry.
