RE: Help key on Command

I wasn't talking about doing:
MYCMD<F4>

I was talking about doing:
MYCMD<F4> and then on the parameter in which you have a file full of 
selection criteria, hitting F4 again.  The program named in the "Choice 
program" would be called displaying that file full of selections.  They 
make a selection and it gets passed back.

For example, on the command DLTPGM, you can position down to the library 
and hit F4 again.  And you'll get the following:
*LIBL 
*CURLIB 
*USRLIBL
*ALL 
*ALLUSR 
Now, if instead of using *VALUES for the choice text, you used a Choice 
program, you could customize that to show you all libraries on your system 
you currently store programs in and they could pick and choose from that.

What other kinds of custom help were you talking about?

RE: Help key on Command






Thanks Rob :) 

This is what I am trying to do.  Currently we have panel groups for each 
command to be picked up for help (when user uses F4 prompt and then uses 
F1 to figure out what to type in the command options). 

On display file, we have come up with a global reference file which 
contains display formats and corresponding help panel setups.  From 
display screen I pick up F1 and pass in the caller as a parameter to a 
service module that pulls up the appropriate help (again, depending upon 
their setup either from panel or from web html).  I want to do something 
similar for commands also.

Is there anyway I can? I did see Al's response but just wishing I guess.

Thanks for your help, 
Sudha

What's the odds on either conditioning your users to use F4, or having the 

help panel say something more tactful than "Use F4 you moron"?

Yes, I would like not to use the regular help panel group of the command
but call another program that does some processing instead.  So the user
presses the F1 key and that calls another program and does the
processing instead and say pulls a subfile or something.
Thanks,
Sudha

Are you talking about like what can be done with the "Choice program" on

an individual parameter?
