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?


I presume you are referring to the command length in the QQ member
for the commands behind the menu selections. Yes? If so then, no, the
longest command length in the QQ member is 115 characters as entered from
the STRSDA screens. However, after you've created the members the first
time, you *may* be able to edit the QQ member directly and get up to 155
characters. This won't work if you still use STRSDA to create your menu.
I wrote my own REXX command to create the message file from the QQ member
and mine supports the 155 character length. I think I'll go post it on
the midrange wiki as sample code. give me half an hour and it will be
there.
