Re: CL problem

Hi Leif,

When you use RTNVAL(*YES), the command cannot be used interactively, because
you can't specify a variable for the return value.

The solution is to create the command so it is only allowed from within a
program, e.g.:

    CRTCMD CMD(MYPROG) PGM(MYPROGC) ALLOW(*BPGM *IPGM)
