No color change for mandatory parameters in Report Launch Form

Question

Report Launch Form (qms0012f) does not color the mandatory report parameters when running on 9IAS webserver.
We are using Designer 6i with Headstart 6.5.3.0.
On client server the mandatory report parameters are changed to user preference color.
Testing when running the form with the Developer Web Previewer of Forms Builder 6i the mandatory parameters are also changed to user preference color but the background color is white instead of gray?

Cheryl,
I'm sorry, on creation of Headstart 2.1 we added the implementation_name to the qms_modules table, but we just plain forgot to modify qms0012f as well. As most people have the implementation name identical to the module name, nobody noticed until you did!
If you want to change this, you should modify library qms0012l.pll.
Go to package qms0012f,
find the declaration of g_short_name_item, and add a similar one g_implementation_name_item where 'SHORT_NAME' is replaced by 'IMPLEMENTATION_NAME'. In the same package qms0012f, find the function get_short_name_item and add a similar one get_implementation_name_item.
Then go to package qms$report, function fill_par_list. At the end of this function, you will see a statement l_module_name := name_in(qms0012f.get_short_name_item);
Change this into l_module_name := name_in(qms0012f.get_implementation_name_item);
I am not able to test this, but I think it should work. Please let us know if this workaround helps, then we can include it in Headstart 6i.
Hope this helps,
Sandra
