Use this record- or field-level keyword to indicate that a field should be printed in bold letters.
This keyword has no parameters.
This keyword is valid for both IPDS™ and SCS printers.
For files created with DEVTYPE(*AFPDS), this keyword applies
only to registered font IDs. If HIGHLIGHT is used with a coded font or character
set and code page, a message is issued. See Appendix D of the IBM® infoprint fonts: Font summary
book for
a listing of font IDs.
If you specify HIGHLIGHT at the record level, the keyword applies to all fields in that record. Thus, if both the record- and field-level HIGHLIGHT keywords are specified and either indicator condition is met, the HIGHLIGHT keyword is used.
The HIGHLIGHT keyword might not apply during printing because of the font being used. Do not use HIGHLIGHT if a numeric font is specified that does not support the highlight font or if a graphics font is specified.
The HIGHLIGHT keyword is valid on either named or constant fields.
This keyword is valid for data types A, S, and F. You can specify HIGHLIGHT only once for each record and once for each field.
Option indicators are valid for this keyword.
