Re: Restricting user command values

For some $##%!^$ reason the situation is communicated with INFO messages by
CRTCMD:

* CPD0263 400 20 Required parameter not
allowed after optional parameter. Optional parameter
assumed.
* CPD0250 400 20 Default value of ' '
assumed for DFT parameter.

Gee, thanks CRTCMD, for creating my command that doesn't work the way I
said it should?!!!

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.
