But changing the default won't cut it. Unless I put ?-MYPARM(MYPARMVALUE)
in there to suppress the display of that parm, it will be displayed and the
user will be able to change it.

Another option is to CRTDUPOBJ on the command and use CHGCMDDFT to change
the command defaults to get by having to provide less parameters.
Only caution is to do a DSPCMD on it first and make sure you're not
changing the defaults on a "proxy" command.

Jeff,
Use UIM menus ... see:

for a nice "how to" article.

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.
