Alternatively, create a command CALLMYPGM that does allow for prompting and use that with the prompt feature in a CL program.

Bryan,
You can create a program where he enters the name of the program to be
called on a screen and then call the program using the screen variable.

You can see examples of how to do this here:

I need to give a former programmer the ability to CALL a program and I don't know which program and I don't want to give him command line access. This will be temporary until he can specify the programs, at which time I'll just create menu options for him.

Is this possible?
