- SQL*Forms is actually expecting a "logical" attribute, what
- _SQL*Forms_ calls the attribute. That's things like "Normal" or
- "Field-current", as opposed to "None" or "Inverse".
-
- What you probably want to do is to change the attribute mapping
- listed in the terminal resource file, rather than resetting the
- attribute at run-time. You can do that by using Oracle*Terminal: open
- your oraterm.res; choose the "RUNFORM" or "SQLFORMS" product and your
- terminal; and dive into the [Mappings]/[Attributes] menu choice. Check
- under the [Device]/[Attributes] section for what attribute names you can
- use.
