Carsten Fleming has quite a few examples of creating commands with help text and the various techniques your asking about. I don’t have a link but he’s saved quite a bit from his numerous articles over the years.

Good question. My application is already using service programs quite
heavily but the issue is can I save using code with a display file and
RPG/CL code when maybe it can be done simply using a more complex CL
command? The command is used to initiate one of 5 options and its not
called withing a program anywhere.

I have a general question on a very similar project: In today's modern
world should we be using commands or should we be swiveling toward the
use of service programs for this sort of problem?

I would like to create a command for 1 of my applications.

What I would like to achieve:
I enter a reference number and press enter. The command should then call
the validity checker or something similar which would look up the
reference
number and then display to the user, the library name, Lib_A or Lib_B
which is stored on the file and it retrieved by the validity checker.
Then
the user would press enter again and the command would process.

At this time I have to have multiple commands, 1 for each type.

Is this possible or do I need to create a display file and CL/RPG program
to do this?

TIA
