Changing Color of code

[rechit]

Hi,

I would like to know how we can change the color of code during coding. Putting the same question in another way, When i write a code in SEU usually all code i write is displayed in green, i would like to have my comments in white color and rest of the operational code in green.
I using Netmanage 5250 terminal.

I am not asking about changing the background or font color.

Regards,
Rechit

Another option is to write an SEU exit program that extends your line commands.
For example, I can enter the block command HH to highlight a group of lines. It is
much easier to do this while I'm coding rather than trying to remember to run a
utility against the source member ;-)

Even easier, forget about SEU and use a editor like LPEX. Automatically colors your code as you go along.

Hi All,

I remembered that it could also be possible by using the keyboard map.
Can anybody have that keyboard mapping list ?

Client Access Colors
Descriptions and Hex codes from JimmyOctane's chart

White         = 22

Green         = 20

Blue          = 3a 
Blue_RI       = 3b 
Blue_UL       = 3e  

From your AS/400 Client Access session:
Edit/Preferences/Keyboard

Click on Customize button.

From Customize Keyboard screen:
File/Save As
Remember the name and location the file is at.

Exit program and click OK

Close the CA session.

Using notepad, open the keyboard map file (extension .kmp)

Using the HEX codes above, assign the colors to the control or 

shift-control keys using the 'apl' code. Here is an example.

--- BEGIN EXAMPLE ---

[Profile]
id=KMP
Description=

[KEYBOARD]
C-KEY2=apl 22
C-KEY3=apl 32
C-KEY4=apl 3a
C-KEY5=apl 28
C-KEY6=apl 38
C-KEY7=apl 30
C-KEY8=apl 26
C-KEY9=apl 36
C-KEY10=apl 3e
C-KEY11=apl 2e
CS-KEY2=apl 24
CS-KEY3=apl 34
CS-KEY4=apl 3c
CS-KEY5=apl 21
CS-KEY6=apl 23
CS-KEY7=apl 33
CS-KEY8=apl 3b
CS-KEY9=apl 29
CS-KEY10=apl 2a
CS-KEY11=apl 25

--- END EXAMPLE ---

The above configuration assigns colors to CTL 1 to 0 and SHIFT-

CTL 1 to 0

CTL 1 = C-KEY2
SHIFT-CTL 1 = CS-KEY2

Save the file and open your CA session again. Check the keyboard 
configuration. You may need to load it and save you CA session 
so that it will always load when the session starts.

Once assigned, you can use the control/shift-control keys to put 
colors in your source while within SEU. On instruction lines 
this can be between positions 1 and 4 or in the comment section 
of the line. For comment lines, they can be used in any position 
and in any combination.

Re: Changing Color of code

Ihave never done this but.....it seems all you have to do is locate the file.....
open in with lets say wordpad add the lines with the apl stuff then just re-save over the exisitng file.

One more option and it relates to using an exit program with SEU. You can try SEUExit, a software product available here:

This utility lets you color source code (among other things).
