Setting the optional character attributes

GDDM V3R2 Base Application Programming Guide
SC33-0867-01



Only in the fourth field definition at E are any of the character attributes set. Here, indexes are given to parts of the data buffer that contain attribute settings for the color, highlighting, and symbol set of the data in the fourth field. GDDM finds the color attribute setting for the field beginning at byte 32 of the data buffer, the highlight attribute setting beginning at byte 35, and the symbol set to be used for data in the field beginning at byte 38.


      DCL DB    CHAR(40) STATIC INIT
                ('HighPerformanceAlphanumericsAPI356124 &&');
                                              "  "  "  "
                                             29 32 35 38

At these bytes, the color code '356', the highlight code '124', and the symbol-set code '&&' are specified. (The blank character at byte 38 specifies inheritance of the field symbol set and the two "&" characters (X'50' or decimal 80) request the use of a symbol set with identifier 80.)
