Decorations
To add, change, or delete decorations, type the information you want directly on the
Screen Painter screen from your keyboard.
Use decorations to enhance the appearance or meaning of the screen. Decorations are
displayable ASCII characters, such as headings or titles, that do not change when the
application user enters data into the application screen.
The Pathmaker program automatically provides a screen title and a line of equal signs
(===) at the top and bottom of the default application screen, which you can remove
or change.
To use decorations follow these guidelines:
Decorations can have any video attribute, but all characters in the decoration must
have the same video attribute.
A decoration cannot overlap a data field, pseudofield, point field, or video
attribute field.
