Re: copying menu's from a test to a production library

When you create the menus (SDA)
change Prompt for paramaters to Y

Create menu objects . . . . . . . . . . Y
For choice Y=Yes:
Prompt for parameters . . . . . . . Y

On next screen - change the library parm for Display File and Message File
to *LIBL

Display file . . . . . . . . . . > DUMMY
Library . . . . . . . . . . . > *LIBL
Message file . . . . . . . . . . > DUMMY
Library . . . . . . . . . . . > *LIBL

or use CHGMNU cmd to change all existing menus before move to prod.
(create a clp to dspobjd to outfile and for each menu object execute
CHGMNU...)

Change Menu (CHGMNU

Type choices, press Enter.

Display file . . . . . . . . . . DUMMY
Library . . . . . . . . . . . *LIBL
Message file . . . . . . . . . . DUMMY
Library . . . . . . . . . . . *LIBL

Subject: copying menu's from a test to a production library

RE: Find library of program to process a command, thanks all for your
help
with the previous issue.

New issue

We use the following scenario to promote test programs to production

put test library on top of library list, if no issues- run program to
copy
objects/source to appropriate production libraries, remove test library
from library list, next day rename test library to a save library

this works great except for menu's. the menu's need to be recompiled
after they are moved to the production libraries before the library they
were compiled in is renamed. anyone know a fix to this?
