FSBCOLOR | NOFSBCOLOR

Required Arguments

FSBCOLOR

enables you to set the background color in your SAS windows. For example, if you specify FSBCOLOR when you invoke SAS, you can issue commands such as the following in any SAS window:

color back blue

This command sets the background color to blue.

Use the FSBCOLOR option only on vector graphics devices. The FSBCOLOR system option is ignored if you specify it on a program symbols device. SAS issues an error message if you try to set the background color of a window.

NOFSBCOLOR: specifies that no background colors are to be used. NOFSBCOLOR is the default value on all devices.

Details

Nongraphics terminals and program symbols graphics terminals, such as the IBM 3279, the PC 3270 emulators, and the Tektronix 4205, do not enable you to set the background color of individual windows. The background color is always black for these terminals. Vector graphics terminals such as the IBM 3179G, 3192G, and 3472G enable you to set the background color.
