You cannot do this in XEDIT, or in linemode. You must use a program that knows how to do extended attributes, specifically the SA 3270 orders. XMENU, IOS3270 (maybe), DMS/CMS (maybe), and a host of others. Warning: writing such code yourself is non-trivial!
And for sure &deity has meant it to be very hard ;-) You don't want just any programmer to be able to do this... I still have to see the first line mode application that is improved by yelling at me in different colors. It's bad enough to be trapped by someone's PROFILE XEDIT that uses all combinations of color and hilighting. Note that the differences would not show in your console log, so if it is really important you may need to think of another way to clarify the output. You could have an argument for using the CP SCREEN command to identify output lines unrelated to your program that get merged in the output. Whenever I run into someone who has set different style for various forms of output, I can't resist asking the person whether he knows which color is what, and what value it provides... I do like to have MSGs hilighted, but that's about it. Rob PS Lacking a dozen different editors for CMS, we need at least something to fight religious wars about. PS/2 And I do like the QDI XEDIT that the Piper did for us.
