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

I'm confused - originally you said that it should display to the user, but
now there is no interactive? Why not just make looking up the library the
first step in your command processing program?

The reason I am asking how to here is that using a display file requires

interactive use, which is not what I need. I need to get away from the

interactive part. So purely batch.


Thanks, Darryl.



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?
