RE: Size of command in menus

Does the URL have to be on the screen? Can you give the user a short name that you use to build the link inside a program?

I cannot do prompts. the command string for the URL get way too long.

Here is an example:

STRPCCMD PCCMD('"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox" "
http://mpower:8011/mrcjava/servlet/LCN_IT.M00010s";')

Is there another way to do this?

This is the maximum size I could get. Some commands needs more space. URLs get space hungry especially if you need to put in a UPS tracking number.

TIA

Darryl

Does prompting work for you, or does still limit the actual length of
the command you can enter? It's been a while since I've done menus.

For URLs on a screen, I've used screens. You can make a pretty large
variable to hold the URL. You mentioned you didn't want to use a
program, but that may be your only choice unless you can use a URL shorten-er.

I need a longer menu command line in the menu system (STRSDA). I am

off browser applications from the 5250 session and have difficulty
in getting to shorten the command.

An option would be to create a program for each menu options, but I
would prefer not to as that is just more to maintain.

Is it possible to increase the length of the command line in the
menu's created using SDA?
