See ISPF Developer's Guide and Reference for examples of the .ATTR control variable.

Pedro already helped you. the .ATTR control variable is your answer.

You will have in the attr section of the panel
define 40 different ATTR types with the relative ATTRCHAR
and change it according to the found flag...

or if it is an output panel only it would be faster to use a dynamic area

1. In your program, set a variable to indicate that a particular field should be a different color.

2. in the )INIT section of the panel, use an IF statement to control whether the changing of the attribute of a particular field is needed. Change the attribute using the .ATTR control variable. Please see the manual.
