RE: Dynamic part on a standard menu

I don't think it's possible, Mike. See my comments below. The only choice for runtime that gives you dynamic text is a *PGM menu, as far as I can tell. Then you can either have things conditioned in the program, or use a message file in a distinct library for dynamic text, using the MSGID keyword.

Alas!

I didn't think of trying indicators... I will try that!

Booth, how do you do this? There's nowhere in the SDA opt 2 to condition a
constant. Putting * in front of a constant only gives display attributes
and colors. You can always put them into the raw source, but how do you
turn them on when you are not the app that's calling (using) the DSPF?

Also, I tried U1 in the conditioning indicator location - you can only have
01-99.
