I am trying to produce an excel spreadsheet with alternating white and silver rows for the data. The following works fine in WebFOCUS DevStudio but not in FOCUS for OS 390. No error, just gets ignored.

BACKCOLOR=( 'WHITE' 'SILVER' ),

I cannot seem to specify more than one color. Does anyone know if there a workaround for this ?

Thanks,

Lou

Lou,

What versions are you using on the different platforms? Depending upon the version on OS390 that styling might be avaiable?

Also, please update your signature so that we can clearly identify them when you ask questions.

I am using Win2K / DevStudio 7.1.7 where it works as posted. To get it to work on OS 390 the following was needed:

DEFINE FILE INFILE
CNTR/I2 =IF LAST CNT EQ 1 THEN 0 ELSE 1;
END

TABLE FILE INFILE
PRINT ... ... ... CNTR NOPRINT
...
...
TYPE=DATA,
JUSTIFY=CENTER,
BACKCOLOR=SILVER, WHEN=CNTR EQ 0,
$
TYPE=DATA,
JUSTIFY=CENTER,
BACKCOLOR=WHITE, WHEN=CNTR EQ 1,
$
