The painter allows you to specify only the MAPATTS and DSATTS operands for map and mapset properties. You cannot specify the EXTATT operand (this was the old method of specifying attributes in the DFHMDI macro). You can find the MAPATTS and DSATTS operands on the Common Attributes page of the Map Properties and Mapset Properties dialog boxes.
The DSATTS attributes are generated in the order CPHVUMTO for the output portion of the symbolic description map to correspond to the CICS/ESA V3.3 data areas layout. The attributes are as follows:
| C | Field Color |
| P | Programmed Symbol Set (PSS) |
| H | Field Highlight |
| V | Field Validation |
| U | Field Outlining |
| M | SO/SI Creation |
| T | Field Transparency |
| O | Output Data |
