Return a list of the terminal (TTY) attributes of a form field.

Syntax

getFieldTTYAttributes(
    name  STRING)
    RETURNS DYNAMIC ARRAY OF STRING
  1. name is the name of a form field.

Usage

Use getFieldTTYAttributes() to return a list of the TTY attributes of the field to test in a scenario. Use this method to test for style values, such as color, "reverse" , "blink", "dim", and so on. For example, a simple form field for entering a password can have TTY attributes:
INPUT BY NAME passwd ATTRIBUTES(WITHOUT DEFAULTS) END INPUT
In the form file (per), these TTY attributes can be set for the "passwd" field:
# ...
ATTRIBUTES
  EDIT passwd = formonly.passwd, INVISIBLE;#, color=BLUE;
END
# ...
CALL ggc.getFieldTTYAttributes("passwd") RETURNING tty_values

getFieldTTYAttributes will return "invisible". Nothing after the comment (#, color=BLUE;) is returned.
