I had the same issue for our attention key program (contains a menu of custom reports/inquiries of canned package database). What I did was create a physical file with 4 fields Category (i.e. Orders, inventory) Description (i.e. Print On Hand Inventory, Find a Consultants Orders, etc.) Command (i.e. 10 character field (CALL, RUNQRY, etc.) Command to Run (i.e. CALL PRTINVOH, RUNQRY QRY(FNDCONORD) RCDSLT(*YES) The attention key program is an RPG program which reads this file, displays in a subfile, and has an option field for them to select which option they wish to run. The attention key program then does a QCMDEXC using the data from the Command to Run field. Any time I need a change all I have to do is change the file!!! -----Original Message----- From: owner-midrange-l@midrange.com [mailto:owner-midrange-l@midrange.com]On Behalf Of Jim Langston Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2001 1:10 PM To: MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com Subject: Re: menu-screen compile, object in use Yes, if this is the "home" menu for a user, they have a lock on the file. When I need to recompile these menus I will do a WRKOBJLCK MYMENU *FILE and see who has the file locked. Then I'll call them up and ask them to back out of the menu, or if it is their main menu, to log off for a quick time to recompile the menu. Once everyone is out, I recompile the menu which takes all of 10 seconds or so. Then I have to call them back to tell them they can log back in. It is a pain. If there is a work around (which I doubt) I would be interested in knowing about it also.

And thanks for the answers for my first questions on history loggin, PDM, and such.. (from a Sys/36 comparison level mainly) Ok.. I was trying to simply compile a menu ...dds-400 type ..using 400 sda ... and it said the object was in use, not replaceable at the moment, even after I *thought* everybody was out of the menu ... (Yes, I did look at the "D U" equivalent...) Is the object still in use because it is the "home" menu of a user, even if they go to another menu ? Or is there a way to get around this object replacement block thing that I don't know about ? Seems be a screen block replacement function, (including any prompt screens), not a RPG program issue ...
