Use this field-level keyword on an unnamed constant field to have Hyper Text Markup Language tags sent along with the 5250 datastream. If the datastream is sent to an AS/400 5250 Workstation Gateway device, the HTML tags will be processed on the HTML browser. If the data stream is not sent to an AS/400 5250 Workstation Gateway device, the HTML keyword is ignored.
The format of this keyword is:
HTML('value')
or
HTML(&program-to-system-field);
A parameter is required for the HTML keyword. The parameter must be a valid HTML tag enclosed in single quotes, or in a program-to-system field. The program-to-system field can be any legal length and must be alphanumeric (A in position 35). The DDS compiler will not check the HTML syntax of the specified parameter. The browser which receives the HTML at run-time will check the syntax.
The following keywords are not allowed with the HTML keyword:
COLOR
DATE
DFT
DSPATR
EDTCDE
EDTWRD
HLPID
MSGCON
NOCCSID
OVRATR
PUTRETAIN
SYSNAME

Option indicators are not valid for this keyword. However, option indicators are allowed on the constant field.
The HTML keyword is not allowed in a field of a subfile record.
