Re: Invoke PDM's User Defined Option manager?

Carel,

This is not what I got from his posting.  If you are looking for the
maintenance program, invoke it and examine your invocation stack.

No, David wants to know the name of the programme that enables him to
maintain those options without starting PDM.

The programme's name should start with a Q, obvious. But there are other
things in mind as well:
Does the programme receive parameters? Which, types, length? Is there a
command for this?
How are the overwrites done, as I can have my own file with the options?

Perhaps a object dump of the STRPDM screen (UIM?) may give some clues.

Just some thoughts.

Regards,
Carel Teijgeler.
