Re: Command CHOICEPGM

Hi, Mark:

"C' is for "Choice text" (appears next to each field when you press F4 for
the whole command);

"P" is for the allowed values, when the user puts the cursor in that field
and presses F4 to see
the list of allowed values.

A "Prompt Override Program" is called before the prompt screen appears, when
a user
types a command name and presses F4=Prompt, to "fill in" or "override" any
"default" values,
before the prompt screen is displayed.

Hope that helps,

Mark S. Waterbury
