Enter a new value in the color field beside the ISPF-defined default color to be changed. The valid color choices are RED, PINK, GREEN, YELLOW, BLUE, TURQ, and WHITE.

Color changes are reflected on the panel display immediately after you press Enter. For example, if you type BLUE in the field next to RED and press Enter, any panel element attributes defined as red change to blue.

You can restore an ISPF-defined color to its default value by setting its field to blank and pressing Enter. To restore all the ISPF-defined colors to their default values, select the Defaults point-and-shoot field at the end of the command line.

The EXIT command ends the Global Color Change Utility function and saves global color changes in the ISPSPROF system profile table. The CANCEL command ends the Global Color Change Utility function and restores the global color definitions as they were before the utility was invoked.

Changes to the globally defined colors affect all logical screens whether they are displayed directly by ISPF or whether ISPF has requested that GDDM® perform the display. Line mode output, fields, and graphics that the dialog has placed on the screen using direct calls to GDDM are not affected by global color changes.
