'BB' Begin Blinking/Bold
  Character Display
   
Description When sent to a terminal device, the 'BB' mnemonic causes the text to begin blinking. Use of this mnemonic is dependant on the capabilites of the terminal being used. When sent to printer using WINPRT or PDF output, the output will be bold.

To end blinking/bold mode, use the 'EB' Mnemonic.
*Note* Blinking on Graphical Devices:
  • ProvideX does not support the blinking the attribute on graphical terminal interfaces such as Windows, WindX or JavX.
  • PxPlus (build 9182) does support blinking on Windows and when connected using WindX. In addition, graphical output such as lines, rectangles, pictures, will also blink when output while the 'BB' mnemonic is in effect. The rate of blinking can be controlled using the 'OPTION'("BLINKTIME", "nnn") mnemonic.
