Sreejith,

Hmm your definition doesn't seem right. your code MFLD POSTS,LTH=09,ATTR=(YES,3) indicates the application program can dynamically modify the three extended attributes specified in the EATTR= operand. If this is specified, the LTH= value on the MFLD statement must be increased by 6 bytes for the modified attribute bytes. ATTR=(YES,3) in this your code lets the color, extended highlighting, programmed symbol buffer local ID, and existing 3270 attributes to be dynamically modified.

But your definition has 4 attribute bytes specified.

Check this link for Dynamic Modification of Extended Field Attributes

Also how is the DFLD for the above fields specified?

Hope this helps...

Cheers

OK ... Solved the problem. The Hex value used in the MOVE was wrong. It should be as follows
