Griz,

Good response by Tracy.  However there are alternatives.  Like instead of
prompting for the whole command you can just prompt for certain
parameters.  Like
mycmd  ??parm1

And I think if you want to display the parm, but not let them enter it you
can do things like
mycmd ?*parm1

        Subject:        Problem running a command as a menu option


I have a command that works fine when I run the command from the command
line. I added the command as a menu option and when I try taking the menu
option, the command doesn't display and it issues me an error message. The
error is because the first required PARM of the command is blank. Is there
a
way I can put this command on a menu and still have it prompt its input
fields? Griz
