I am using TN3270 and zOS 1.13 but I am not able to see a different color. Perhaps it would work on OOREXX?

Hi,

In REXX, is it possible to display a message in different colour? I want to display a message in RED or some other colour when using SAY command. Is it possible? What is the syntax should I use?

Thanks!

It is google most of the time for me too.

Thank you Robert and William. This is very useful.
