If my memory is correct,

?4R? the R means request/prompt. And 4 is the placeholder as you
surmised.

So if the first request = Y then it prompts again for another value.

Subject: OCL Documentation

Does anyone know of any on-line OCL documentation? I can deduce some of

it, but some things are totally foreign.

For example I have a line that goes like this:

// IF ?4R?/Y IF ?7R?/Y GOTO TMCD

I believe that first ?4R? is retrieving input from the screen, and if it

is a Y then it does the second IF. No prompts or anything, it just
waits
for more input from the screen? or uses the previous input? What are
the
4 and 7 for? Are these just variable placeholders? ?7? is not set
directly in the procedure, other than the R there. If ?7? is a Y it
should go to the label, but what would cause that? Just user input
without any prompt?
