Pull down Menu Question.

["prakash subramanian" <prakashsubramani@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

       Iam  new to AS/400 and am bit naïve when it comes to programming 
on it. I have a doubt regarding Pull down menus as I don't know how to 
associate a field name with a sub menu and how to use it in a RPG 400 
program. Let me describe the sequence of steps that I followed to create 
a Pull down menu (Of course from AS/400 Help books, but which did not 
specify how to name a sub menu in a pull down menu) 



Step 1: I created a Pull Down Menu of type PULDWN

Step2: Created a Menu Bar of type MNUBAR

Step3:In MNUBAR record using option 12, inside the design Image screen, 
1 row 2 column, I gave an * , and selected Menu Bar keywords 

Step4:here I specified
                                      MNUBARCHC : Y

Choice Number to update :
        Choice Number                   1
Pull down record                        PULL DOWN RECORD NAME THAT I 
CREATED

Step5:  Then in PULDWN record, using option 12, inside the design image 
screen, 3 row, 3 column I typed +99 (A numeric field as specified by the 
manual, though I don't know why)

Step6: Preseed F4 and typed option 1

Step7: In Keying Options I gave Y

Step 8:In select Choice keywords I typed Y against Selection field 
choice and Define Choice Keywords

Step9: In Define choice keywords I specified only the text for menu pull 
down

                       No where did I specify the field names. Can 
anyone please help me regarding how to use this and how to specify the 
pull down fields in the program. Thanks in advance

                                                                                
        
Prakash
