Re: Prompting CL commands in code/400

["Douglas Edwards" <Douglas.Edwards@xxxxxxxxxx>]

     Chris,
     
     You can currently prompt for CL commands in the editor.  The problem 
     is the prompting occurs through the special STRCODE emulation session 
     that is normally running in the background with the letters "EVFCLOGO" 
     in the upper right hand corner.  For newbies, they prompt for the CL 
     command, and are not aware or forget the prompting is taking place in 
     this special session.  So they think nothing has happened.
     
     This new way of prompting would just have a GUI prompt window pop up. 
     The behind the scenes communication with the AS/400 would still need 
     to occur, but instead of the green-screen prompt on the STRCODE 
     session, you get the new GUI prompt.
     
     In either case (GUI or green-screen), CL prompting from the editor 
     would not run the command, but rather return the prompted command with 
     filled-in parms back to the editor.

Hi all,
     
Ok, I'm going to show my ignorance here..... Can you not prompt CL commands 
in code/400? What's this message I get about starting STRCODE? Why would I 
need to do that and what would it do? The message seems to imply that it 
would execute the CL command I enter. If someone could clarify it for me I'd 
appreciate it!
     
Thanks,
     
Chris Proctor
