CMD difficulty - V5R2

Hi all,

I need to write a command that can prompt for one or more command
strings, which I thought would be easily possible.

I first tried 

parm kwd(commands) type(*cmd) max(10)
Error CPD6229, if type *CMD specified, MAX(1) required.

Ummm, ok.

How about elem?

ELEM type(*cmd)
Error CPD0133, *CMD not allowed for type.

This seems like an odd restriction.  Surely there is some way to allow
the user to prompt for a list of commands.  Could someone enlighten me,
please?


One other command question:  I have a case where the user can enter an
object.  If the user indicates it's a *FILE object, I would like the
prompter to give the user the opportunity to also key in a member name.
This would be similar to how CRTDUPOBJ, when duplicating a *FILE, adds a
prompt for DATA(*YES | *NO).  

Thank you.  

Regards,
Rich
