Re: Retrieving Command like F9

["Booth Martin" <Booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What happens if you  create the T1 command to simply call a prompted CL:
 
?? Call T1CL ?Parm(' ' ' ')    
or something like that.  That will flow to the job log I believe.  You'll
want to study the choices you have with the question marks.
 
A better choice in my mind would be to put the CL choice on a menu.  I get
nervous about command lines for users.  Also, you may want to add the
ability to save the user's last entry and display that as the opening
default.

Subject: Retrieving Command like F9
 
I have a need in a CL program to capture the complete command that was
entered to execute the CL program. What I think I am looking
for is a way to programmatically "press F9" and capture the result. I cannot
find any interface to do this .... is it possible?
Some obscure API maybe?
 
A bit more information ... there is a command definition for this CL program
that includes prompting for optional operands. The
user enters the command name and is prompted for the other operands; in the
job log only the "originally" entered operands are
present; those that were optional are not in the job log, so since F9 uses
the joblog to retrieve previous command, it seems F9
would not retrieve all operands, however, this seems to be in conflict with
normal interactive operation. For this specific case:
operator enters "T1 DEVICE(TAP02)" and is prompted for OPTION. Joblog shows 
T1 DEVICE(TAP02)" but as CL program begins it is with
"T1 DEVICE(TAP02) OPTION(A)" because operator was prompted for OPTION and
filled it in.
 
Thanks for any advice ... Chester Hood
