Loyd,

The following may meet your requirements:

UIM Menu DEPTMENUX must already exist.

Compile the following CL program.

             PGM        PARM(&MENUNAME &MENULIB &ACTION)

             DCL        VAR(&THISMENU) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10) +
                          VALUE(DEPTMENU)
             DCL        VAR(&MENUNAME) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
             DCL        VAR(&MENULIB) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
             DCL        VAR(&ACTION) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(2)
             DCL        VAR(&DEPTMENU) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)

             RTVDTAARA  DTAARA(DEPTMENU) RTNVAR(&DEPTMENU)

             IF         COND(&MENUNAME = &THISMENU) THEN(DO)
             CHGVAR     VAR(&THISMENU) VALUE(&THISMENU *TCAT 'X')
             RTVOBJD    OBJ(&THISMENU) OBJTYPE(*MENU) RTNLIB(&MENULIB)
             CRTDUPOBJ  OBJ(&THISMENU) FROMLIB(&MENULIB) +
                          OBJTYPE(*MENU) TOLIB(QTEMP) NEWOBJ(&DEPTMENU)
             MONMSG     MSGID(CPF0000)
             GO         MENU(QTEMP/&DEPTNAME)
             CHGVAR     VAR(&ACTION) VALUE(X'FFFF')
             ENDDO
             ENDPGM

Use the CRTMNU command to create a menu DEPTMENU of type *PGM from this
program. Type GO DEPTMENU on the command line. The menu name (department
name) will show in the top left corner of the UIM menu. The variable &ZMENU
will be available in the called UIM menu with the current department name as
the value for &ZMENU to pass as a parameter to any called programs if
required.
