# Mnemonics

'BB' | Begin Blinking/Bold

Character Display

## Description

When sent to a terminal device, the 'BB' mnemonic causes the text to begin blinking. Use of this mnemonic is dependent on the capabilities of the terminal being used. When sent to printer using *WINPRT* or *PDF* output, the output will be bold.

To end blinking/bold mode, use the 'EB' mnemonic.

#### Note:
Blinking on graphical devices was added in PxPlus v8.11 (build 9182) and was not supported prior that release.
