          HEIGHT(5)
          BORDER(*DFT 1 *RED)
          BGCOLOR(BDDFFF)
          TITLE('Filter selection' TOPLEFT *BLACK)

This command creates an object of type FRAME, named MYFRAME within the collection named MYCLC. The frame is 80 positions width and 5 positions height. The TOP-LEFT corner of this frame will be positioned at the 2nd line and the 1st column of the format to which it will be connected (cf. cmd ADDOBJCNT). The border style will be the default one, its size will be 1 pixel and its color red. The background-color within that frame will be, in hexadecimal, BDDFFF (which is a light blue). And this frame will have a title written in black on its top-left position.

Expression can accept variable names from which values will be used at runtime to compose the whole string. Variable names must exist in the format to which this object will be connected to be processed correctly.

Example for string:
- '/mydir/mydoc/myimg.gif'
- 'http://www.mysite.com'
- 'my column heading'
- 'call pgm(pgm1) parm(''abc'' 12)'
Example for expression:
- '/mydir/mydoc/' *cat &FLD1 *tcat '.gif'
- 'http://www.mysite.com/' *cat &FLD1 *tcat '.html'
- '&FLD1'
- '&FLD1 *tcat &FLD2'
- 'call pgm(pgm1) parm(''' *cat &FLD1 *cat ''' ' *cat &NUM1 *cat ')'
  Nota: When used for an object type FIELDIMG, FIELDLINK or FIELDBUTTON, you can specify the reserved word &THIS. &THIS is for a generic field which will be the field(s) to which the object is connected. (These objects type could only be connected at *FIELD level)

Specifies the background color and the foreground color of an object. (foreground color is usualy associed to the text). The format used is the RGB hexadecimal codes from 000000 (black) to FFFFFF (white).

The first two digits are the amount of Red.
Digits 3 and 4 specify the amount of Green.
Digits 5 and 6 specify the amount of Blue.

character-value: Specify the Hexadecimal value of the background color.

Element 2: Color in hexadecimal

000000: Black color.
*RED: Red color as for FF0000.
*GREEN: Green color as for 00FF00.
