Default settings in I/A are OOS - cyan, BADIO - red, ERROR - green.
A green output parameter can come from several conditions.  The one
I keep running into seems to have something to do with cascade 
initialization.  

I have BCALCO showing green in some of my blocks and not in others
(since 4.1 to 4.3 upgrade).  It goes away when I set PRIBLK=0, but 
I am still trying to figure where the error is coming from.  Anyone
else have any ideas?  I know that some status bits switched from 
INITI/INITO to BCALCI/BALCO between 4.1 and 4.3.

What parameter are you displaying from the MDACT block that is 
showing with the green background?

You can check and see if default graphics status attribute color
settings have been changed by running statcfg:
/usr/fox/wp/bin/tools/statcfg
You can pick load current file to see if something is set up
differently.  It has a report feature that should generate something
like this (0-black,9-red,14-cyan, 15-white):
