Notes:

1. When you do not specify a default color, the color is based on the field type and intensity values:

protect/normal displays blue, protect/bright displays white, unprotect/normal displays green, and
unprotect/bright displays red.

2. If any field on a panel has explicitly specified a color (including DEFCOLOR), all bright fields with

DEFCOLOR or no color specified are displayed white and all normal fields with DEFCOLOR or no
color specified are displayed green. This is a 3270 hardware limitation and not the panel facility.

BLInk

specifies that the field blinks.

REVerse

specifies that the field is in reverse video.

UNDerline

specifies that the field is underlined.

NOJustify

specifies that no justification is done (left justified but blanks are not stripped).

LEft

specifies that the field is left justified (leading blanks will be stripped).

RIght

specifies that the field is right justified (trailing blanks will be stripped).

PAd()

specified only in context of fields having variables. In an unprotected field the pad character fills the
character positions that are not occupied by a variable value. In a protected field, the pad character is
similar but the scope of the fill area is not the whole field as in the unprotected field. It is bound by
where the variable starts, within the protected field to either the end of the field or the start of the next
variable or text.

NULls

specifies that a field will be padded with the null character.

BLanks

specifies that a field will be padded with blanks.

char

specifies a single character to be used to pad a field.

NUMeric

specifies a field is numeric (unprotected field only).

CUrsor

specifies that the cursor is positioned at the beginning of this field. If multiple cursor fields are defined,
then the last one defined contains the cursor. The cursor is placed in the top left corner if a cursor field
is not defined.

MDT

(specified for SEND and CONVERSE only) sets the modify bit tag for all input fields on the panel.

PANEL Variables

The implicitly defined PANEL variables that can be used by the REXX program follow.

PAN.AID

Attention identifier that last caused panel input.
