FSBCOLOR | NOFSBCOLOR

enables you to set the background color in your SAS windows. For example, if you specify FSBCOLOR when you invoke SAS, you can issue commands such as the following in any SAS window:

color back blue

Use the FSBCOLOR option only on vector graphics devices. The FSBCOLOR system option is ignored if you specify it on a program symbols device, and you will receive an error message if you try to set the background color of a window.

specifies that no background colors are to be used. This is the default value (even on vector graphics devices).

Some terminals, such as the IBM 3279, the PC 3270 emulators, and the Tektronix 4205, are called program symbols devices. This type of device does not allow you to set the background color of individual windows; the background color is always black. Other terminals, called vector graphics devices, allow you to set the background color. Examples of such terminals are the IBM 3179, 3192, and 3472 terminals.
