When INCONTROL products are activated from a screen with extended seven-color support, they make extensive use of the color attributes of the screen. The concept of management by color is emphasized in INCONTROL screens.
Like all screen attributes, the color attribute for each field is defined externally to the program and can be locally modified by the site.
Note:
IOA does not automatically recognize IMS/DC and IDMS/DC terminals as supporting extended color attributes. If your IMS/DC or IDMS/DC terminal supports extended color attributes and you want IOA to recognize this, refer to the INCONTROL z/OS Administrator Guide for more information.
At this time, IOA does not support extended color attributes under COM-PLETE.
Due to ISPF characteristics, color changes cannot occur in adjacent columns but must be separated by an attribute byte without color, that is, black. Therefore, some IOA screens have a different appearance under ISPF than under other online environments, such as native TSO and CICS.
