PLB_SAVECHARSIZE Keyword

PLBWIN, PLBCE or PLBLinux

PLB_SAVECHARSIZE={value}

The PLB_SAVECHARSIZE keyword defines the current attribute mode. When the value specified is two (2), an eight bit attribute mode is employed. When the value specified is four (4), a 16 bit attribute mode is used.

Character underlining and color support are mutually exclusive if the runtime is using the default eight bit character attribute size. Switching the attribute size to sixteen bits by way of either the SETMODE *SAVECHARSIZE control or this key word permits combinations of color and underlining.

The attribute mode affects the SCRNSAVE, SCRNREST, SCRNSIZE, STATESAVE, STATEREST, STATESIZE, WINSAVE, WINREST, WINSIZE, and KEYIN instructions and the *CRTON list control.

Example:

PLB_SAVECHARSIZE=4
