Re: Restricting user command values

You can have some control over the position of PARMS with the second element on the PROMPT key word.

But as those are missing, I wonder how this could compile. Having required PARMS (max(1)) after optional ones always throws compile errors at me.

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')

HTH,

Hi all, this has me stumped. I have this source for a command

PARM KWD(ITEM) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(6 0) MIN(0) +

PROMPT('Update Production (Y/N)')
PARM KWD(SENDEDI) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1) MIN(1) +

PROMPT('Send EDI Sales (Y/N)')
PARM KWD(CLSBSLP) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1) MIN(1) +
VALUES(Y N) RSTD(*YES) +
PROMPT('Clear SBTSALESP')

If I call the command from the command line
SB0125CMD DATE(20210708) ITEM(883082)
the cpp is called.

I thought the only valid values for the last three parameters would be Y or
N and since MIN(1) is specified it could only be Y or N.

But the CPP is being called and the last three parameters are blank.

How do I restrict the last three parms to only Y or N and not blank?

Thanks,

Rob
