    SQL*Forms is actually expecting a "logical" attribute, what _SQL*Forms_ calls the attribute. That's things like "Normal" or "Field-current", as opposed to "None" or "Inverse".

    What you probably want to do is to change the attribute mapping listed in the terminal resource file, rather than resetting the attribute at run-time. You can do that by using Oracle*Terminal: open your oraterm.res; choose the "RUNFORM" or "SQLFORMS" product and your terminal; and dive into the [Mappings]/[Attributes] menu choice. Check under the [Device]/[Attributes] section for what attribute names you can use.
