What's wrong with this DISPLAY command ?

My compiler won't compile this statement:
DISPLAY wortel(getal) WITH FOREGROUND-COLOR 4 NO ADVANCING
It tells me NO ADVANCING is incorrect, if i type it like this
DISPLAY wortel(getal) NO ADVANCING WITH FOREGROUND-COLOR 4
then it thinks WITH FOREGROUND-COLOR 1 is incorrect.

How should i type it ? (I want to display "wortel(getal)" in color 4
without going to the next rule)

That is correct in only one particular compiler.

What compiler are you using? Vendor and version please.

I would assume that 'FOREGROUND-COLOR' is usable when you are
DISPLAYing UPON CRT, or using SCREEN-SECTION, while 'NO ADVANCING' is
only available when DISPLAYing UPON CONSOLE.  Thus these two cannot be
in the same statement.

You either need to use CONSOLE and forget colours, or use CRT and do
DISPLY AT nnnn (or whatever positioning you compiler allows).

The following
DISPLAY "ABC" at 0110
with foreground-color 4 no advancing.
or
DISPLAY "ABC"  line 1 COLUMN 1
with foreground-color 4 no advancing.

Are perfectly valid with Acucobol.

No screen section involved.


But it may not be valid on CA-Realia.

I found it, if you use FOREGROUND-COLOR in your DISPLAY statement it
automaticly doesn't advance, you don't have to type NO ADVANCING
