You can specify more than 4 parameters, depends of how many parameters your CL will need and the length of the field PARAMETER (256 A).
This is an example of a program that receives 5 parameters, 3 character fields and 2 numeric fields (numeric fields must be specified in hexadecimal format)
Program Parameters
Menu ORD Option 113 Program MYPROG Type D
Parameter
'AB' 'CD' 'EF' X'00120F' X'025F'
F1=Help F3=Exit F5=Refresh F12=Cancel
Hope this helps
Gerardo

The help text states: -
"Specify the values to use to call a program."
I've just tested it with 2 (character) parameters and it was fine.
Maybe difficult with numeric parameters (haven't tested).

Thanks Sean. The heading is "Parameter" (Singular) - I never realised it could be used as more than 1! Next time I have something that requires more than 1 I'll try it.

You can pass in up to 4 parameters using this method.

Michael,
We are on ERP Lx V8.3.2
I know you can call a program from a BPCS menu with one fixed parameter. We have several options like this that we have added to menus. But, unless I'm missing something, I think it is restricted to one parameter.
To do this, in menu maintenance position the cursor on the program to be called and take F4 and you'll get another screen where you can define the parameter to be passed to the calling program. Eg. We have a number of options to maintain selected Tables on ZCC without giving the user the entire SYS105 option. We pass the different CCTABL field names to the program for each option where it is called.
If you need 2 parameters, you could concatenate them into one, called from the menu, and have your CL spilt them into 2 at start of processing.
Hope that helps

Subject: [BPCS-L] Passing parameters to options called from BPCS menus
I have a CLLE program that accepts two parameters.
Is there a way to call the program from a BPCS menu option, passing the parameters (which will always be the same when called from the menu)?
Or do I have to create a wrapper program with no parms, and call that?
