be aware that any command that returns a value can't be run interactively
and you'll have to specify that when you compile the command.

Can someone show me how to return a value from a home grown command.

Here is the command I crearted:

Spool File Name . . . . . . . . Name

Job . . . . . . . . . . . . . . * Name, *

User . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Character value

Job Nbr . . . . . . . . . . . . 000000-999999

Spool Nbr . . . . . . . . . . . *LAST 1-999999, *ONLY, *LAST

Return member...

I will be using the command as follows:

SAVSPL2PF SPLF(QSYSPRT) rtnmbr(&mbr)

I would like the command to process and return a value in the &mbr parm.
Is
this possible?
