Have you tried QCAPCMD? Rob Berendt -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

Booth, I appreciate your concern. In any IT department, you have to have a balance between security on the system and trust in your employees and contractors. In every shop where I have worked as either an employee or a consultant, there is always at least one person that you have to trust to debug programs in a production environment. I am creating this program this with management's approval. They know that there are many times that we need to debug programs that are running in the user testing or production environments that are locked down for command entry. The solution that I have designed will be auditable for use in a production environment. It will be secured by JDE menu masking so that only certain users (mainly developers) will be able to even see it, and this menu option will normally be locked down for all users. This program will only be made available to a developer for use in debugging a specific program problem, then his authority will be removed when he is finished debugging the program. I just about have my solution built, and there is only one thing I don't like about it. As Buck suggested (and from my limited testing), the only way you can prompt a command using a request-message handling program is to put a ? in front of the command. F4 won't prompt from this screen. My program calls QCMDCHK, which will prompt the command if a ? is in front of it. It then passes back the full command string, which I then pass to QCMDEXC to execute. If it fails, you get blown out and an error message is displayed on the bottom line of the JDE menu, showing the error that occurred. For audit purposes, I send a copy of the command string (with the JDE data library prepended to it) to a journal using SNDJRNE. This will be an audit trail of the commands that were executed via this program, in order to satisfy the auditors.
