Folks:

Does anyone know if there is an API that I can send a user entered command and get it back reformatted the way the system would as if it were prompted (without prompting)?

I know I can use the QCMDCHK api to prompt a command without executing it and get it back formatted ... I want to do the same thing but without prompting it.

Even though the command string field in the QCMDCHK api is input/output, unless the command is prompted, the command that gets checked comes back the same way it was passed in.

Thanks!

david
