Re: Command parm default values for a list?

Loyd,

I misunderstood.

However, you can't specify a list as the default. In fact, the default for CHGUSRPRF's SPCAUT parameter is *SAME (determined by leaving USRPRF blank and pressing F9).

It appears that all of CHGUSRPRF's parameters except USRPRF are controlled by prompt override program QSYS/QSYPRPOP. Once the USRPRF parameter is entered, the prompt override program using that parameter's value sets up the "default" values of the remaining parameters from that user profile object.

I have never coded a prompt override program or a command definition that uses one, but my guess is, as you surmised, that a prompt override program is the way to accomplish what you want to do.

Thanks, Mel. However, I wanted the list partially filled with values, not
with *NONE. I.E., something along the lines of what you see when you prompt
a CHGUSRPRF, on the Special authority (SPCAUT) parameter. It is a list that
is partially filled.

Loyd, you need to use the SNGVAL and DFT parameters:

   PARM       KWD(MYPARM) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10) DFT(*NONE) +
                SNGVAL((*NONE)) MAX(10) PROMPT('Numbers')

I'm creating a command that allows for a list of values, defined as MIN(0) MAX(10), and would like the list to contain a default value. However, I can't get the DFT parameter to work with a list. Is a prompt override program my only hope here?

Thanks,
Loyd
