Jim, If you use ?? I think it will do what you want, BUT if you enter the command from a command line and just press Enter (no F4 prompt) then the prompt override pgm is not even called and does not get a chance to plug the values in for you. -Marty --__--__-- From: "Jim W" <jimw2001@hotmail.com> To: midrange-l@midrange.com Subject: 2nd Request - HELP! - Prompt Override Program Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2001 09:45:46 -0500 Reply-To: midrange-l@midrange.com Message re-sent - Can anyone help? Hi all! I have a situation where I wanted to get some default values from a configuration data area and have them appear as the defaults for parms on a command prompt that is used on a menu option to start an interface system. The IBM manual shows that it can be done using a prompt override program. I followed the example and got the values to display on the prompt for the parms, but if I just press ENTER (without keying anything into the parm fields) nothing gets passed to the CPP. I'm using the ?< selective prompting character, which according to the manual says "the parameter is displayed and is input-capable, but the command default is sent to the CPP unless the value displayed on the parameter is changed." Has anyone done this before, and am I missing something? TIA. Jim Whalen DCS Software and Services PH 972 429-8238 jimw2001@hotmail.com
