Status Color

Status Color

the BR Wiki discusses "Status Color" on the "Status" page. I believe it's mistaken. I don't believe there is a "Color" statement. Further I believe that "Status Color" does nothing different than "Status".

Unless someone objects I'll delete the mention of "Status Color" from our documentation.

John,

STATUS COLOR is being used.

It lists the color statements that have in effect. In 4.18, you could create color attributes (shortcuts or whatever you want to call them) with:

COLOR [WARNING]#FFFF00

Then you can use those in place of the actual color CODES in your programs.

STATUS COLORS lists all the color statements that you have in effect.

Excellent:

I added some basic documentation to the color config specification, thanks to your help Susan.

I was thinking that a better example of the color statement might be:
COLOR [GRAYBLUE]#4987BC
or something like that because most people would create a "WARNING" bracketed ATTRIBUTE rather than a color statement. Sorry about that.

I have to run so I can't change the page right now. I'll do it later if you don't get to it first.
