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

BTW In regard to placing a question mark in a CL program, I specify a CLLE
type for the command processing program. Then I use CRTCLMOD and CRTPGM.

PDM option 14 won't compile the code in and of itself.

One idea that I like is to use a question mark ? within a command
processing program to prompt for a 2nd command (conditionally, perhaps):

PGM PARM(&OBJ)

DCL VAR(&OBJ) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)

? DSPOBJD OBJ(&OBJ) OBJTYPE(*FILE)

PGMEND: ENDPGM

At any rate, you can link multiple commands and command processing
programs this way to simplify input and offer various options that are
based on previous input.
