RE: Command programming

Dan,

I've never had an issue using *DEC, as when you specify the length you can specify the # of decimal
positions but 0 is assumed.

Otherwise, use *UNIT4 and specify RANGE(1 999).

Subject: Command programming

Question 1: I am trying to find the IBM reference manual for command
programming on InfoCenter (V5R3). I didn't find the PDF for it, so I
searched for "choice program" see if that would point me to it. The
search
takes me to the "Qualifier Definition (QUAL)" page, but this isn't what
I'm
looking for, and I was hoping that I'd get a link that would take me to
the
table of contents for the manual but I am unable to navigate to it.
Frustrating!

Since I can't figure out Question 1:
Question 2: I want to define a parameter on a command as a 3-digit
integer,
with a range of 001 - 999. If I define it as TYPE(*DEC), the definition
allows non-integer decimals (i.e., 9.123, 147.9, etc.). I tried the
integer
types *INT2/4 & *UINT2/4, but those don't play nice with the LENgth value
of
3. I would like to avoid having to write a command validation program.
Ideas?

TIA,
Dan
