SUMMARY:
Under the Version 8.2x DBE character client or the Version 9.x character client, executing the 4GL COLOR DISPLAY statement reveals a product limitation in displaying double-byte (DBE) characters. That is, the identified color number used by COLOR DISPLAY must be smaller than 32. Only the first 31 identified color entries can be used for each terminal type in the PROTERMCAP file.
If the display fields do not include double-byte characters, then this limitation does not apply.
EXPLANATION:
This behavior has been logged as a bug.
SOLUTION:
The suggested workaround is to replace COLOR 5 - 31 definitions in the PROTERMCAP file with any colors from the 32+ range that you need to display. Customize the relevant terminal type session such that those colors used by the application are in the 0 to 31 range.
