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
