Re: 1 of 10 Is it possible to create a command that will present different options based on the value entered initially?

These things are not mutually exclusive - all 3 approaches have their uses.

Now let's forget about diversion and stay on topic - a validity checker is not used to prompt - I suppose it COULD do almost anything - but prompts are more typical and are the "something similar" you're looking for, as you described.

Now the prompt override only provides the list of values, it doesn't give you something to pick from that will automatically keep going.

Now there is also a CMD exit - that is used to change a value in parameters. You could maybe leverage that, putting up a program to pick values to fill in a parameter. You would want to consider batch vs interactive processing, I would think.

Cheers and best of health!

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 -- Darryl Freinkel
