RE: Choice Programs

["Art Tostaine, Jr." <art@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wish you could use the choice program for a date, where the user can see a
calendar in a window, with the ability to go forward or back months/years.
Just like Continental airlines (and Microsoft Expedia) use for finding the
date of a flight, hotel reservation, etc.

Since date data types are represented in the command, this should of course
all be done automatically by OS/400
