APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a DBCS user tries to use character by character alignment
  for a field widget then the HF setting does not work anymore.
  If the user tries the word by word alignment then the HF does
  work correctly.
  

Local fix

• Use Word by Word, which is the default, alignment for the field
  widget.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All DBCS customers using Character by        *
  *                 Character alignment for field widgets        *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When a DBCS field is configured in      *
  *                      HATS to be aligned Character by         *
  *                      Character                               *
  *                      instead of the default, which is word   *
  *                      by the word, the field is not           *
  *                      correctly displaying a Highlighted      *
  *                      field.                                  *
  *                                                              *
  *                      For example, the field is displayed as  *
  *                                                              *
  *                      green instead of green highlight.       *
  *                                                              *
  *                      This problem does not occur on a SBCS   *
  *                      field, or when using word by word       *
  *                      alignment.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The HATS FieldWidget code does not create an HF class in the
  DBCS stylesheet when a monospaced DBCS font is used with
  Character
  by Character alignment.  Thus, the rendered field is not
  displaying as a highlighted field.
  

Problem conclusion

• The FieldWidget.java code has been changed to add the HF class
  to the DBCS sytlesheet for a Character by Character alignment
  when monospaced font is used.
