SET FIELD ATTRIBUTE

Execution

PERFORM RMP--SFA-PANELNAME

Description

This standard run-time function alters the enabled attribute code assigned to a field/control through the Panel Editor. The attribute value remains altered until the panel is removed. This standard run-time function allows a field/control to be displayed with different attributes based on its value or other run-time system conditions.

Required Parameters

The program must set the name of the field/control to be changed in RMP--FIELD-NAME. If the field/control occurs more than once, the occurrence number must be specified in RMP--FIELD-OCCUR. The occurrence numbers are equivalent to COBOL subscripts and begin at 1.

RMP--ATTRIBUTE must be set to space or to a value in the range A through P to indicate the new attribute for the field/control. A value of space restores the default attribute value.

Additional Usage Notes

Before this standard run-time function can be executed, the panel must be displayed.
This standard run-time function displays the field/control with the new attribute. However, if it is a repeating field/control, it displays only the specified occurrence. Setting RMP--FIELD-OCCUR to 0 displays all occurrences of a repeating field/control.
