RE: Code Editor Command Shell (F9)

["Buckingham, Ed" <Buckingham@xxxxxx>]

I am using the VARPG and the STRCODE server.  One other thing that has be
acting strange is the ability to invoke the CODE Editor from the AS/400 PDM
option line.  This use to work without any problems and was a real time
save, but now when I key my "CE" command on the member option line and hit
enter, the system just runs something in the backgroud for a second and
returns me right back to where I started.  My user defined option in STRPDM
is setup as follows:

                        Display User-Defined Option

 

 Press Enter to continue.

 

   Option  . . . . . . . . :   CE

 

   Command . . . . . . . . :   CALL PGM(QCODE/EVFCFDBK) PARM('37' 'Y'
'OS400' '<LOCAL> CODEEDIT "<>&L/&F(&N)"')

 

 

Would this option being executed from the AS/400 give any other clues as to
what maybe going on here?
