RE: Choice program problem on a QUAL stmt

["Tyler, Matt" <matt.tyler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You need to put the CHOICEPGM() on both the PARM and the QUAL statements
if you want it to dynamically build the choices in command prompt view
and parameter prompt view.  

I would create a CL program with DMPCLPGM and see the value of the
command parameter that is passed in.  In command prompt position 21 will
be 'C' and in parameter prompt position 21 will be 'P'.

Thanks, Matt

Subject: Choice program problem on a QUAL stmt

I have the following test command:

            CMD        PROMPT('test file driven prompting')
            PARM       KWD(FILE) TYPE(FILE1) MIN(1) PROMPT('File:' 1)
FILE1:      QUAL       TYPE(*NAME) LEN(10) MIN(1) CHOICE(*PGM) +
                          CHOICEPGM(TSTCHCPGM)
            QUAL       TYPE(*NAME) LEN(10) DFT(*LIBL) +
                          SPCVAL((*LIBL)) PROMPT('Library:')

But I am finding that I cannot get the choice program to invoke when I
place a "?" in the file name field.  If I have a stand alone PARM for
the file name then the choice program will work correctly.  Is there
something special about having a choice program on the first QUAL
statement?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
