SET COLOR

Execution

CALL RMP--RUNTIME USING RMP--U-SCO RMP--PARAMETERS

Description

This utility function instructs the RM/Panels runtime system to perform all subsequent screen output with color specifications.

This utility function does not automatically redisplay any information that is on the monitor. After executing this function, the application program should redisplay any information it wants to have redisplayed in color.

Use this utility function to cancel the effects of a previous SET MONOCHROME utility function or the setting of RMP--FORCE-MONO to TRUE in RMPANELS.WS. However, if RMP--FORCE-MONO remains TRUE, the runtime system reverts to monochrome output when a different panel library is opened, because RMP--FORCE-MONO is checked every time a library is opened. If the SET COLOR function is used to cancel the effects of RMP--FORCE-MONO, RMP--FORCE-MONO should be set to FALSE.
