The following display file DDS is being analyzed:

A            Z1ABNC         5  0B  4 19TEXT('KeyFld 1 NBR')
A                                      CHECK(RZ)           
A                                      EDTCDE(4)           
A N25                                  OVRDTA              
A  31                                  DSPATR(RI PC)       
A N31                                  DSPATR(UL)          
A  85                                  DSPATR(BL)
A N25                                  OVRATR             

Because the Z1ABNC field could appear in several different ways (reverse-image, underlined, blinking) the MLS generator generates a Field tag as follows:

[assign the value for TD in your book](_f0259)</TD>

The server determines the style and formatting for this field by looking at the attribute byte for the field (which is passed in the data-stream with the field and changes as the field displays in different ways).

Thus, where the value of the field at screen is 00012, the server might render the above as:

[assign the value for TD in your book]<B><FONT COLOR=#00FFCC>00012</FONT></B>[assign the value for TD in your book]

or as

[assign the value for TD in your book]<I><FONT COLOR=GREEN>00012</FONT></I>[assign the value for TD in your book]
