Mixing COLOR and REVERSE attributes
I4GL ignores the COLOR attribute when REVERSE is used,
while Genero BDL mixes both attributes.
With IBM® Informix® 4GL, when a form field is defined with both the COLOR and
REVERSE attribute, the REVERSE attribute disables any other
COLOR attribute definition for this field.
With Genero BDL, the COLOR and REVERSE attributes are used
together, in order to display the background of the form field in the specified color.
For example:
DATABASE FORMONLY
SCREEN
{          
[f01            ]
[f02                        ]
}   
END 
ATTRIBUTES
f01 = FORMONLY.pkey, COLOR=RED;
f02 = FORMONLY.name, COLOR=GREEN, REVERSE;
ENDMAIN
    DEFINE rec RECORD
           pkey INTEGER,
           name VARCHAR(20)
       END RECORD
    OPEN FORM f1 FROM "form"
    DISPLAY FORM f1
    LET rec.pkey = 9999
    LET rec.name = "Scott Bold"
    INPUT BY NAME rec.* WITHOUT DEFAULTS
END MAINIf the Genero BDL behavior is not welcome, remove the COLOR attribute from the
field definition.
