Re: Menu options in the joblog

I don't think you can change the IBM menus. This is documented in the 
Application Display Programming manual, under the CMD topic in the UIM section.

It is possible to write write a *PGM type menu that uses UIM panel groups 
that can put the command into history, but this is not trivial and will not 
help existing menus.

What I DID discover is cool - there are IBM menus that put the command into 
the history - all the CMDxxx menus. I dumped CMDSYS and found that the 
options call a program that has the command name as the parameter. The 
program is QMNHCMD and it's used like this:

CALL QMNHCMD WRKSYSSTS

This will prompt the command specified in the parameter. The command has to 
be in the library list. You can't specify any parameters for the command. 
But it does put it into the F9 history.
