To be dynamic, you are going to have to look up the files within a library
at the time of prompting.
I agree that it would be a waste of time to hardcode filenames,
but the only way I can suggest of achieving a promptable list is to have
the command
prompt the user if the second parameter is blank - perhaps cued by a
validity checker pgm ?

Then your prompt pgm will receive the library parm,
populate a file list from this (PFs only ?)
and present the user with a list of possible files.
Why not use a subfile for this - isn't that what they're for ?
Best of luck, commands are fun,

Fiona
