Program elements initially appear in black. For example, suppose you enter BEGIN-PROGRAM. As you type, the text appears in black until you complete it. As soon as you type the final “m” in BEGIN-PROGRAM, it changes to blue, which indicates a valid Production Reporting block command.

Note:

Colors do not affect Production Reporting programs. They are only an aid to make programs more readable.
