Re: CL command creation

[CRPence <CRPbottle@xxxxxxxxx>]

  Yes.  The second element of the PROMPT parameter for the PARM 
cmd-source-command [aka a "command definition statement"] assigns the 
Prompt Position [aka the "Order prompt is displayed"].  However, I am 
not sure how its use would apply to the scenario in the OP.

  I described such a command source recently, with similar effect as 
seen on CPYFRMIMPF [when enter is pressed with just the command on the 
command line].  Either link below is to the same message; just sourced 
differently:
