&AOMCOLOR

A system variable that indicates the color attribute of the current message.

After an &AOMREAD verb is issued to get the next available message for processing by AOMPROC, &AOMCOLOR is set to indicate the color attribute for that message.

The &AOMCOLOR system variable is set to one of the following values corresponding to the value coded on the [ COLOR=value ] keyword operand of the GLOBAL or MSGGROUP statements in the AOM screening table, or as altered by a SET statement.

If the COLOR operand is coded on both the GLOBAL and MSGGROUP statements, then the value on the MSGGROUP statement takes precedence for a particular message.

Valid values for message color are:

RED, BLUE, GREEN, WHITE, PINK, YELLOW, TURQUOISE, NONE.

Example: &AOMREAD

&AOMREAD SET
 .
 .
 . 
&IF .&AOMID EQ .PRODIMS &THEN +
   &WRITE MSGCODE=04 COLOR=&AOMCOLOR DATA=&ATEXT

Notes:

In MSGPROC, the system variable &ZMCOLOR contains the same value as &AOMCOLOR.

If the screening table does not set a color attribute, then &AOMCOLOR is set to NONE.
