Re: Menu prompt object only

Not at a computer at the moment and been a long time i created a command, but ... well, a shot in the dark.

Could you not place a Constant value on the library part of the QUAL parms? It may then only show the object part of the PARM and passe dthe constant value for the lib, IIRC.

I have a 5250 menu with a command that references a qualified object (MYLIB/MYOBJECT). We'd like for the user to be able to specify the object but not the library. I can get the command to prompt for the qualified object, but not just the object itself.

Is there a way to do that on the menu? Alternatively, doesn't the OS now have ways to create command aliases? I checked Google for both. DDS menus are so old it's hard to find a lot of specifics, and I came up with nothing about command aliases.

Here's what I have so far, just using CALL as an example:
CALL ??PGM(MYLIB/MYOBJECT)


TIA
