Re: CMD Validity Program Oddity

I would have expected a Validity Checking program to check whether your
parameters are correct and nothing more.
Are you saying that the Validity Checking program is changing a specified
parameter or altering a default when you press enter or something else ?

If I understand correctly what you are trying to do, a prompt override
program sounds more like a possible answer.

Perhaps you could provide a sample of the command you are running and the
parameters that make it into the program.

I have a CMD with a validity checking program that does it's own prompting
to override the value of a parameter. I'm doing it this way because I do
not like the way CHOICE(*PGM) works.

If I type the command and press ENTER things work correctly. If I type
the command and press F4 the value is not actually replaced.

I've stepped through the flow in debug and can see the value being set in
the validity checking program, but then when the processing program is
called the parameter was reset to the default.

I've been able to reproduce it on both 7.1 and 7.3. Is this a known issue
OS issue?

Maybe I'm just lucky it works with ENTER.
