Question
Why are the DDS Keywords for *COLOR and *LINTYP not changing the GRDBOX or GRDLIN screen appearance in IBM i Access Client Solutions?
Answer
The IBM i Access Client Solutions 5250 Emulator does not support the *COLOR or *LINTYP keywords for the GRDBOX or GRDLIN support in a DDS Display program. All lines will be shown in the emulator's default color and line type which results in a thin white line.
The earlier IBM i Access for Windows PC5250 emulator also did not provide this support.
