Re: Qual parameters in CMDs

["Steve Landess" <steve_landess@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is how I did it, Scott:

            PARM       KWD(JOB) TYPE(QUAL2) DFT(*) SNGVAL((*)) +
                         PROMPT('Job name or * for current job')

QUAL2:      QUAL       TYPE(*NAME) LEN(10) MIN(1) EXPR(*YES)
            QUAL       TYPE(*NAME) LEN(10) MIN(0) EXPR(*YES) +
                         PROMPT('User name')
            QUAL       TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(6) RANGE(000000 999999) +
                         MIN(0) FULL(*YES) PROMPT('Job number')
