Attribute Handling for 6500-Series Terminals
•
If you change a field with a BLINK attribute to REVERSE, the field goes reverse
but it does not blink.
•
If you change a field with a BLINK attribute to UNDERLINE, the field is underlined
but it does not blink.
•
If a field is originally REVERSE and you change it to BLINK, the field only blinks
and is not reversed.
•
If you change a REVERSE field to UNDERLINE, then the field is underlined but not
reversed.
•
If you change an underlined field to HIDDEN, neither the text nor the underline is
displayed; they are hidden.
•
If you change an underlined field to BLINK, the underline does not appear but the
text blinks.
•
If you cnage a field with an UNDERLINE attribute to REVERSE, the field is
reversed but the underline does not appear
•
If the field initially set to top, bottom, left, right, or in the boxfield was changed to
BLINK, then only the text will blink. The lines will not blink.
