IBM Tivoli NetView for z/OS, Version 6.2

NORMAL

Purpose

Use the NORMAL statement to change the color of normal messages that are displayed on the command facility panel. The NORMAL statement also defines the color and highlight attributes of the message area of the command facility panel after the screen is erased using the CLEAR command. The sample member containing the NORMAL statement is CNMSCNFT. Code the NORMAL statement only once.

Syntax

The NORMAL statement has the following syntax:


NORMAL

>>-NORMAL-- --+-----------+--+--------------+------------------->
              '-colorf-- -'  '-attribute-- -'   

>--+---------------+-------------------------------------------><
   '-ON-- --colorb-'

where:

colorf: Defines foreground color for normal messages. The foreground color must be specified before the background color.
attribute: Defines alarm, intensity, and highlight attributes for normal messages. You can specify attributes only once for the NORMAL statement.
ON: Makes the color specified by colorb apply to the background of the normal messages. This is a required keyword if you specify only a background color.
colorb: Defines background color for normal messages.
