Re: ?menu?

Are you actually replacing the OCL with CL?   Or are you just changing
the menus?

Maybe a quick-fix would be to pass the menu name as a parameter?  (You'll
have to excuse me, my OCL is a little rusty)

On the menu, make the call look like:

MYPROC MYMENU

And in the proc do:

// LOCAL OFFSET-167,DATA-'?1?'

Or if you're using CL:

CALL MYCLPGM PARM('MYMENU')

And:

PGM        PARM(&MENU)

          DCL VAR(&MENU) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)

          CHGDTAARA DTAARA(*LDA (167 10)) VALUE(&MENU)

... other stuff ...

ENDPGM


In the long-term, I'd change this to not base things on the menu names,
but use something else, so you could put these programs on any menu
without having the menu name hardcoded into them.
