I've got a requirement to produce PDF reports of SQL output (typically run from DSNTEP2).

I would like to be able to colour the input and output elements a different colour. Maybe even highlight DB2 errors and warnings as well.

Using TEXT ATTR with SCAN allows me to change the colour of a single text element based on a match, but what I need is to be able to dynamically colour complete lines based on content (or some keyword, such as "Output==>"

any help appreciated !!

another way around this, does TXT2PDF allow for PDF command directives within the TXT input file ?

my operating environment is Z/OS. I don't believe the implementation of TXT2PDF supports Regex expressions. I wish it did !!
