Screen color change per environment

[jean_driscoll]

Has anyone setup their separate World environments to use a different color per environment?

We are getting ready to have 2 updateable production environments accessed by the same users and I would like to give them a noticeable change between environments.

It looks like maybe I can change the screen colors in V00menu and then put this object into different libraries accessed by the different environments. Are there any JDE setup ways to do this?

Hey Jean,

We went into the F0094, Library List Master File, and set the first byte of the List Description, LMDL01, to a hex 39. This turns the description at the bottom of the menu for the environment Pink. You could probably determine the hex values for other colors if Pink is objectionable but our users where extremely satisfied. So any of the environments that use the Other Production Set have the Pink description at the bottom, i.e. Production, Test, etc.

Jean,

You should not have current source for the video or the program, so I am
not sure how you can do that.
We do color identification by machine and system, not environment.

Re: RE: Screen color change per environment

somehow I've got v00menu in jdesrc, but I don't have source for p00menu, so I guess I could not recompile it.

we have both of these environments on the same system and the user will be using the same pc to access them. Do you have any other ideas that could help?

 

[jean_driscoll]

that sounds like the ticket. how would I set the first byte of the description to a hex 39?

 

[G_Smith]

Well we used DBU and it has the option to display a field in the Hex representation (F9) and changed the zone of the first position to a '3' and the digit portion to a '9'. But I guess you could write a quick program to put a constant defined as X'39' in the first position with a MOVEL for the record. After the byte is loaded the normal maintenance program will let you change the field as long as you don't change the first byte.

cool, thank you

If you are using Client Access (or possibly some other emulation
package), you can change the colors of your screen display settings.
You would have one session setup for environment A and another session
setup for environment B. We do that but of course that means you need
to touch PC's...

Thank you. I thought of that, but the same user is signing onto the same system into World using the same user id. So we would have to train them to sign onto this icon and choose this environment... it's not foolproof.

G Smith's idea did work, the pink is startling so maybe will be enough.

Jean,

You do not need to compile the RPG, as the change I showed you with
doing the color attribute and the dspatr of RED is not enough of a
change to create a level check on the video.

Just change the video like I showed you and then compile the V00MENU
into a library for one of the environments and then sign on to that one
and you should see the change.

Jim

Re: RE: RE: Screen color change per environment

thank you. That is what I tried to start with, but for some reason, even though I've moved the V00menu to a library higher in the library list than jdfobj, I'm still picking up the jdfobj/v00menu dspf. It is almost as if the signon program is overriding the library for the dspf. Do you know how to get around that?

RE: RE: RE: Screen color change per environment

Jean,

When you say you moved V00MENU to a library higher in the library
list than jdfobj, when are you trying to do that? After you are in JDE,
or before you go into JDE? If you are in JDE, the program P00MENU is
already open and using V00MENU, so it won't recognize a new version,
even though higher in the library list. If you are trying to do so
before going into JDE, keep in mind that JDE is replacing your existing
library list when it starts up. Not sure internally what the JDE code
is doing - I don't think they are doing a specific override to JDFOBJ
(since that may not be the name on every customer system). They might
be doing an override to whatever is defined as your object library, but
not sure about that. You may have to ask JDE support if there is a way
around this.

Re: RE: RE: RE: Screen color change per environment

Jim helped me figure it out. I had just compiled to a different library than I thought I had....

The color change is working now.

Thanks for your response!

hello
You can do it by duplicating QJDF data area per environment
and set one with video color palette = 1 and second one with 2
Video Color Palette (1=SAA 2=JDE) . . . 1
and one the first field you can also key in a different system name...
