All,

Is there a way to increase the command length on a standard SDA menu? I'm
thinking not.

I have a command on a menu and I added a parm. Now it won't fit. Most of
the parms are preceded by ?- because I don't want the user to be able to
change them, the new parm included.

Is my only option to encapsulate it into another command?

Thanks.
