For further information about creating commands check out: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/v4r5/ic2924/info/RBAM6COMDEFSTATE.HTM Commands are the fastest screen developer around. For example the following command source: CMD PROMPT('This is a test') PARM KWD(MESSAGE) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(200) REL(*NE ' + ') MIN(1) CHOICE('Please type in + message') PROMPT('Message') PARM KWD(USER) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10) RSTD(*YES) + VALUES(PAUL BRENDA) MIN(1) PROMPT('User') Compiled with the CRTCMD command, will generate the following screen: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a test (TEST) Type choices, press Enter. Message . . . . . . . . . . . . ____________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ User . . . . . . . . . . . . . . __________ PAUL, BRENDA Bottom F3=Exit F4=Prompt F5=Refresh F12=Cancel F13=How to use this display F24=More keys -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Complete with another prompt screen for User which will display the possible values for User. And 15 screen fulls of help! Not bad for 3 lines of code, eh? You can get fancier with custom prompting programs, context help and what not, if needed. Now, if only the prototype support for ILE languages were this powerful! Rob Berendt ================== Remember the Cole! "James W.

In file QCMDSRC create the following member: (Now, I like to call my commands the same as the CPP (Command processing Program) but it's not necessary.) *************** Beginning of data ************************************* CMD PROMPT('Wrapper for program PRR50130') PARM KWD(P01) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(30) ALWVAR(*YES) + PROMPT('Parameter #1') PARM KWD(P02) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(90) ALWVAR(*YES) + PROMPT('Parameter #2') PARM KWD(P03) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(9) ALWVAR(*YES) + PROMPT('Parameter #3') PARM KWD(P04) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(8) ALWVAR(*YES) + PROMPT('Parameter #4') PARM KWD(P05) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(8) ALWVAR(*YES) + PROMPT('Parameter #5') ****************** End of data **************************************** Then compile (CRTCMD) with: Create Command (CRTCMD) Type choices, press Enter.
