Parameters

TYPE= ET | CH | CT | FP | LEF | LI | NT | PT | SAC | TEXT | WASL | WT
This attribute defines the attribute type to be applied to the phrase-to-be-highlighted. Using a CUA attribute causes the text to appear in the associated color.

When TYPE=TEXT, a non-CUA attribute is generated and you can specify the color, intensity, and highlighting with the COLOR, INTENS, and HILITE attributes. These attributes are not valid for CUA types.

COLOR= WHITE | RED | BLUE | GREEN | PINK | YELLOW | TURQ | %varname
This attribute specifies the color of the field. You can define this attribute as a variable name preceded by a percent (%) sign.
INTENS= HIGH | LOW | NON | %varname
This attribute defines the intensity of a field. You can define this attribute as a variable name preceded by a percent (%) sign.
HILITE= USCORE | BLINK | REVERSE | %varname
This attribute specifies the extended highlighting attribute of a field. You can define this attribute as a variable name preceded by a percent (%) sign.
INTENSE=varname
This attribute supplies a variable name that must contain a valid value for the INTENS keyword. The entire phrase is controlled by this value. For example, if the variable contains the value NON, the phrase is not visible.
phrase-to-be-highlighted
This text displays with highlighted emphasis.

Comments

The HP identifies text to be displayed with highlighted emphasis by ISPF. The HP end tag restores normal text.

Restrictions

  • You can code the HP tag wherever the RP tag is valid.
  • You can code the HP tag within the text following the CHDIV, CMDAREA, HELP, and PANEL tags.
  • The HP tag requires an end tag.

Processing

None.
