Re: Oh No... How do I run commands in S36 environment?

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Chris,

My requirements (and Dan's as well) involved running the MENU S/36 
command.  If you circumvent the 'Limited User' problem by adopting 
authority, then the user would get a menu (with a command line) where 
he/she would not have limited authority.

We want to be able to display a S/36 menu, but not give the user access 
to the command-line!

My solution was simply to convert the menu to a native one, so that we 
could use the GO CL command and didn't need to run MENU.  I don't know 
if that'd work for Dan.  Personally, I was frustrated by the lack of a 
QCMDEXC equivalent for the S/36 environment.  I also fail to see the 
value of QCAPCMD providing S/36 capability, but restricting it to those 
with limit capability=no...
