User defined commands with a "choice program"

Gang -

I'm writing a command with a "choice program".  When the user presses F4,
the "choice program" displays the available choices for a particular
parameter by reading a file and displaying its' contents.  Unfortunately,
this only displays the available choices, it doesn't force the user to
choose one of the provided choices.  (I.E., the program reads the file and
displays the choices as 1 2 3 but the user can still enter '4')  Is there a
way to code to command parms so that the user must choose from one of the
choices provided by the "choice program" without using the CLP to validate
the choice?

TIA,

Steve
