Characters

In the previous screen the following characters are attribute characters:

_ " % ¬ ¢ ! | + / # $ ~

Attribute characters are used in the body section to assign attributes to a field. In the body section, text preceded by an attribute character is displayed with the attributes assigned to the attribute character. The attribute characters do not appear when the panel is displayed on the user's terminal.

In an attribute definition, any single character followed by blanks is an attribute character. Choose attribute characters that do not appear in the displayed text of the panel definition. The text that follows the attribute character defines the characteristics assigned to the attribute character. You can use an attribute character only once in an attribute section. If you use the same character more than once, the product uses the first definition of the character.
