SDSF display Max-RC in different colors

I'm looking for a way to change the color of Max-RC in sdsf.

I'd like to have something like:

0 => green
4 => yellow
8 => red

Is that possible ?

Yes, but you'll have to write a panel-exit. I use the one written by Doug Nadel, which highlights JCL, PL/I error messages, returncodes, and even adds a screenname to the swap bar.

This reminds me of my SHARE presentation about arbitrary highlighting. See www.share.org/Events/Past-Events/Proceedings/Proceeding-Details/customizing-the-ispf-hilite-command *

Someone commented that this was similar to Doug's method, to which I replied "I am not familiar with it." There was a tremendous laugh from the audience. And not in a funny way.

* I do not think that was my original title. I discussed panels with dynamic areas, of which both the editor and SDSF use.

This reminds me of a SASLOG filter program I wrote to filter/highlight important lines in what can be extremely long SASLogs.

In SAS even a NOTE can be important, and some more than others.

E.g., I highlighted these:

invalid
missing
uninitialized
was not found
multiple
not resolved
WARNING
ERROR
repeats of BY values
failed
records created in
