Hi Richard

V5R3 has the GENCMDDOC command - it can create UIM source or HTML. The UIM option gives you help sections for each parameter.

This CMD source

             CMD        PROMPT(LKJH)
             PARM       KWD(JOBNAME) TYPE(*GENERIC) LEN(10) +
                          SPCVAL((*ANY)) MIN(1) PROMPT('Job name')
             PARM       KWD(JOBQ) TYPE(NAME1) DFT(*ANY) +
                          SNGVAL((*ANY)) PROMPT('Job queue')
NAME1:       QUAL       TYPE(*NAME) LEN(10) MIN(1)
             QUAL       TYPE(*NAME) LEN(10) MIN(1) PROMPT('Library')
             DEP        CTL(*ALWAYS) PARM((JOBNAME) (JOBQ)) +
                          NBRTRUE(*GT 0)
             DEP        CTL(&JOBNAME *EQ *ANY) PARM((&JOBQ *NE *ANY))

results in this UIM source

Hello All,

We are looking for a good tool to automate some of the coding behind
creating help text for CL commands and also green screen programs.

Does anybody know of a good tool for this or do you have something home
grown you're willing to share or sell.

I would also entertain bids to create something.

Any input is appreciated.

Regards,
Richard Schoen
