RE: Command Parameter Question -- MIDRANGE-L

Thanks, Mike, but I guess I asked the question wrong.  I really meant in the
Command source itself, rather than the CPP.  I'm writting the command, and I
was trying to get one parm to default to the value of another.  It looked
like, in the CPYF example, IBM was doing what I wanted and I wondered how
they did it.  Are you saying they do it in the Command Processing Program
rather than  in the Command source itself?  I was trying to get the default
value into the parm before it ever got to the CPP.  I'm not sure if that is
possible or not.
