Examples

In this example, change the color for the field TEXT1 to the value of the field COLORNUM. COLORNUM is a numeric field with the type COLOR that has been assigned the value blue.
```
   call notify ('text1','_set_color_num_',
                colornum);
```
In this example, change the display attribute for TEXT1 to the value of the field ATTRNUM. ATTRNUM is a numeric field with the type ATTR, whose value is highlight. In this statement, a null placeholder is used for the color argument because only the text attribute is being changed:
```
   call notify ('text1','_set_color_num_', .
                ,attrnum);
```
In this example, assign the color stored in the field COLORNUM to five characters of the field TEXT1, starting at column 4. COLORNUM is a numeric field with the type COLOR whose value is green. Again, note the null placeholder for the display attribute argument.
```
   call notify ('text1','_set_color_num_',
                colornum, . ,4,5);
```
In this example, use object variables to assign a color and display attribute to the first four characters in the field TEXT1. The color is stored in the field COLORNUM, a numeric field with the type COLOR whose value is red. The display attribute is stored in the field ATTRNUM, a numeric field with the type ATTR, whose value is reverse.
```
   call notify ('text1','_set_color_num_',
                colornum,attrnum,1,4);
```
