The "BORDER=spec" parameter represents an insertable syntax that specifies the visual characteristics of the window border, within the [[Open Window]] statement.

			As of 4.2, BORDER= must be followed by S, D or B, which in turn may

	"Corners" and "8 chars" border specifications may be used for custom-designed window borders. The "corners" parameter is used to specify custom-designed borders for both I/O windows and field help windows. Two characters must be specified for this parameter: the character to be used for the top left corner of the window and the character to be used for the bottom right corner of the window. Business Rules fills in the rest of the characters for you. See [[Screen I/O]] for illustrations and more information about border types and border graphics specifications.

	~~However~~, as of 4.3, Border=H and "8 chars" are no longer supported except that a new [[Option (Config)\|OPTION]] 62 permits S, D, B, H or an eight character string followed by a colon and then attributes.

			Also within the BORDER= syntax, the "attributes" parameter may be specified immediately after the border specification (no spaces). The attributes specified here will affect the visual display of the border itself. See [[Attribute (Screen)]] for syntax.
