Re: compiling DDS menus in batch

Hi Barbara,

FWIW, I wrote this up as an article back in April 2004. Here's a link:
http://systeminetwork.com/article/compiling-dspf-menu

(The article requires a ProVIP membership to System iNetwork.)

I was having a problem trying to figure out how to compile DDS menus in batch.
I found several postings that said to use CRTMNU or even CRTDSPF, CRTMSGF and
CRTMNU, but, like others, I found that this was not sufficient to recreate what
SDA did when I recompiled a menu interactively.


Finally I figured out that the missing command was ADDMSGD - that you need to
add a message description to the message file for each of the menu options. So
I created the CL program below and it works like a champ for me. You might need
to embellish it if your menu command source is more complicated. Thought I
would share...
