Customize Your Display

You can customize your display by choosing the color of the fields on your display, or whether to highlight them. You can also modify the field according to its type-input or output.

To customize the display

1. Use the SCREEN command to modify the attributes of the fields that appear on your displays.

   The following sample screen displays when you issue the SCREEN command:

   SYSVIEW SCREEN ------------ Screen Field Attributes ---------------------------

   Eodata      OUTPUT  LOW     GREEN     NONE       End of data line
   

   The Fields are listed in the first column.

2. Change the attributes of the field using one of the following methods:
   • Overtype the attribute values for them.
   • Specify the SCREEN command with parameters, indicating the field and how you would like it to be changed.

   For example, to make all input fields on your displays white, either overtype the value for the field in the Color column, or specify the following:

   SCREEN INPUT WHITE
   

For attribute values you can specify for the field, and for other details about the SCREEN command, see the SCREEN command online help.
