Re: Restricting user command values

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

You can't have optional parms appear before required ones...

Change MIN(0) to MIN(1) for these
PARM       KWD(DATE) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(8) MIN(0) +
                          DFT(*CURRENT) PROMPT('Date to process +
                          (YYYYMMDD)')
             PARM       KWD(ITEM) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(6 0) MIN(0) +
                          DFT(0) PROMPT('Item to process')
             PARM       KWD(STORE) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(3 0) MIN(0) +
                          DFT(0) PROMPT('Store to process')
             PARM       KWD(VENDOR) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(5 0) MIN(0) +
                          DFT(0) PROMPT('Vendor to process')
