CBL_SCR_SET_PC_ATTRIBUTES

Sets up the current COBOL attribute table so as to emulate, as closely as possible, the IBM-PC attribute table.
Note: This routine is supported for native COBOL only.

Syntax:

call "CBL_SCR_SET_PC_ATTRIBUTES" returning status-code

Parameters:

status-code See Library Routines - Key

On Entry:

None

On Exit:

status-code See Library Routines - Key
status-code The return status:
0
Successful.
1
Successful, but one or more colors not exact.
2
Failed.

Comments:

Using this routine is equivalent to setting the entire IBM-PC attribute table using the generic attribute routines. It is provided to enable you to apply generic attributes to existing programs, making their attribute handling portable. However, this routine is inefficient because it defines every possible attribute. For new applications use the generic attribute routines and define only the attributes you need.
