setAttribute

Set a protected attribute for a formatted display area.

void setAttribute(int row, int column, String attrs);

void setAttribute(int offset, String attrs);

Arguments

HostScreen

Required. HostScreen object.

Offset

Required. The offset position on the host screen.

row

Required if not offset form. The row number on the host screen.

column

Required if not offset form. The column number on the host screen.

attrs

Required. A string of single characters which set any attributes. For a "normal" output attribute, use an empty string (""). Combine multiple characters for multiple attributes.

Character	Attribute
B	Bold
L	Low (VT100 only)
U	Underline
F	Flash (Blink)
R	Reverse Video
C	Column Separator (different color)

Remarks

The setAttribute method is intended for use in a terminal emulation environment when modifications to the screen display data is needed at the server. For example, database reads can be used to modify displayed data when a list from the host is incomplete based on departmental requirements.

This method will change the display characteristics for the screen text which follows the location of the attribute.

This method works for both formatted (5250/3270 and unformatted (VT) displays.

Note - when used with the setDisplay method, you must specify the same starting location for both setAttribute and setDisplay.
