Re: cl problem

I'd think that two CL programs would be easiest.  

The second program would be the one that shows the menu, and it would in
fact have three PARMs: PARM1= option chosen(1-4) PARM2=Library name,
PARM3=Quit/cancel from F3.   

Then the main CL would retrieve the information, fill the PARMs correctly,
call the 2nd CL. and then run the job based upon the information in the
PARMs returned from the 2nd CL. Much easier to write and to debug, and
offers more flexibility.
