Re: Invisible Menu Options

If you change the SDA menus to display files (option 1
on STRSDA instead of option 2) you can do this easily.
 Converting to display files wouldn't be too hard.
You won't have any subfiles.  After writing one
display file menu and RPG pgm you can just copy the
rest.

This would be easier than trying to maintain multiple
menus.
