TERMCAP problem with Linux and Informix 4GL - No color!

This is probably a simple problem to solve, but it's been making me tear out hair for a few weeks now My company is switching platforms from SCO Open Server UNIX to a Linux platform, and I am doing the conversions on the 4GL code. Under the unix environment, we set the codes for reverse video color with the SETCOLOR command in the users .profile under Unix. Linux (apparantly) does not have an equivilant command to SETCOLOR. In looking at the Informix documentation, the color can be set in the 4GL code with the ATTRIBUTE setting for DISPLAY statements. But when I compile the code and run it (both in console and in X-windows), the colors are not there. I have a feeling that the problem is in the TERMCAP file. I have tried setting the TERM and the INFORMIXTERM environment variables for ansi, pcansi, linux, vt100, wy350, and others. Still no color... is there anyone out there running Informix RDS 4GL under Linux who has figured out the color mystery? Thanks in advance for any advice.
