Author BACKGROUND SCREEN COLORS FOR RM-COBOL/85

Hello to everybody. I am trying to develop a program with RM-COBOL/85
but I do not know how to make the whole screen change color! I know
how to change the color of specific displays, but not of the entire
screen. I would really appreciate if someone could help me by telling
me how.
Thanks in advance.

RM/COBOL does not have that keyword.

Way to do it is by using the CONTROL option of the DISPLAY.

eg.
display spaces line 1 position 1 erase eos
control "FCOLOR=BLUE, BCOLOR=WHITE"


where the valid colors are

Valid Color Names High-Intensity Color Values (Defaults)
Black Gray
Blue Light Blue
Green Light Green
Cyan Light Cyan
Red Light Red
Magenta Light Magenta
Brown Yellow
White High-Intensity White
