I've been used the following since just about forever.  The work fine.
hi='1DE8'x                               /* 3270 Hilite Char     */
lo='1D60'x                               /* 3270 Default Char    */

Both are different that yours.

Subject: A little help with a REXX coding issue

I need a little help with a REXX coding issue.  I'm trying to do some 
highlighting of messages coming out of REXX.  The first test message works 
properly, part of the message is highlighted and part of the message is not.  
The second test message gets highlighted, but after that everything is 
highlighted.  If I change the "Say lo' '" on line 19 to a "Say lo'-'" the 
highlighting is turned off.  What am I missing?
 
Original code:
0 * * * Top of File * * *                                              
1 /*-----------------------------------------------------------------*/
2 /*                                                                 */
3 /*-----------------------------------------------------------------*/
4 Say Left('TEST: Start --------------' DATE()  TIME('N') '',075,'-')  
5 hi='1DF8'x    /* HILITE variable     WHITE   */                      
6 lo='1D40'x    /* UNHILITE variable   GREEN   */                      
7                                                                      
8 /* First test */                                                     
9                                                                      
10 Say 'Test the highlite stuff'hi'HILITE ON'lo'HILITE OFF'             
11                                                                      
12 /* Second test */                                                    
13                                                                      
14 Say hi' '                                                            
15 Say Left('FTPPERF: ',75,'=')                                         
16 Say Left('FTPPERF: ----------' DATE() TIME('N') '',75,'-')           
17 Say Left('FTPPERF: No PERFSVM report pulled',75,' ')                 
18 Say Left('FTPPERF: ',75,'=')                                         
19 Say lo' '                                                            
20                                                                      
21 Say Left('TEST: End ----------------' DATE()  TIME('N') '',075,'-')  
22 Exit                                                                 
23 * * * End of File * * *                                              
 
 
Code that seems to work:
0 * * * Top of File * * *                                              
1 /*-----------------------------------------------------------------*/
2 /*                                                                 */
3 /*-----------------------------------------------------------------*/
4 Say Left('TEST: Start --------------' DATE()  TIME('N') '',075,'-')  
5 hi='1DF8'x    /* HILITE variable     WHITE   */                      
6 lo='1D40'x    /* UNHILITE variable   GREEN   */                      
7                                                                      
8 /* First test */                                                     
9                                                                      
10 Say 'Test the highlite stuff'hi'HILITE ON'lo'HILITE OFF'             
11                                                                      
12 /* Second test */                                                    
13                                                                      
14 Say hi' '                                                            
15 Say Left('FTPPERF: ',75,'=')                                         
16 Say Left('FTPPERF: ----------' DATE() TIME('N') '',75,'-')           
17 Say Left('FTPPERF: No PERFSVM report pulled',75,' ')                 
18 Say Left('FTPPERF: ',75,'=')                                         
19 Say lo'-'                                                            
20                                                                      
21 Say Left('TEST: End ----------------' DATE()  TIME('N') '',075,'-')  
22 Exit                                                                 
23 * * * End of File * * *
