I am getting an undefined op code error in mvs0080 with the following statement:

$SFE ATTR=SKIP,COL=YELLOW

My level of understanding concerning the 3270 is abysmal. Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks. Buddy

$SFE ATTR=SKIP,COL=YELLOW
Which macro library is $SFE in?
When you find that you can browse it to see which
color names it recognizes.

Cheers,
Greg

Thank you for your help. I found that the tk3 I am using does not have that
macro defined and I replaced it with a DC X'. Now my web app seems to be
pumping out netsol banners with color. It can be seen and tried out at
www.mvswiki.org/Make3270.php. Any comments would be welcome. Thanks. Buddy

Rather strangely, this list/newsgroup to which I subscribed some time ago -
mainly to deal with problems/issues such as this peripheral to
"turnkey-mvs" - seems to have sprung into life just recently.

However, in order to address your problem, as Greg Price hinted, your
"unidentified op code" is not so much a matter of "3270" as of assembler
macros.

In order to 'find an "official" list of possible color literals that might
appear in the statement', you can do it the easy way which is to find the
documentation which covers this "unofficial" $SFE macro wherever it may be -
or - you can do it the only slightly more difficult way which is to examine
what the macro will accept - as again Greg Price hinted.

It may be and indeed should be that the code generated by the keyword
parameters which the £SFE macro accepts - as I judge from its name and
apparent intended use - corresponds to the reference given to you by Phil
"halfmeg".

As someone who knows a bit about SNA and VTAM (and even 3270) - the reason I
subscribed here in the first place - you might like to explain a little bit
about what your "netsol" and its "screen" are all about in case I/we can
help someone "3270 challenged" some more - or just satisfy the inevitable -
in my case - curiosity!

I was trying to get color added to a TSO logon screen banner generator that I
coded as a java web applet. I found it a quick workaround to skip the macro and
code the stream segment as a DC X'2902C0C042??' with ?? being color code.

Probably doesn't matter much, and if it works then it works,
but I'd code it as X'2902C04042??' assuming you wanted
it as field that can be typed over.

Greg
