That sounds right nice.. how long did it take you
to put it together ??? You can do some pretty neat
stuff with commands but as you say, not a lot of
folks take the time to learn the "art form".

I actually do it the other way around. By keeping a copybook of commonly used keywords, I can whip out a CMD object very, very fast. Then I wrote a simple utility which accepts a command object name as input and bunch of option settings, and it generates the CL program for me from a variety of templates generating all the DCL's, handling list processing, setting up any overrides needed, and optionally does stuff like setting up OPNQRYF processing, submitting itself to batch, yada, yada.

The command processing capabilities of OS/400 has always seemed woefully
under-utilized by application programmers, IMHO.
