RE: SYSREQ Panel Group Replacement

In order to complete the circle with resolution and more detail on the issue I needed to resolve.
Some of the options from the Operational Assistant Menu accessed via the attention key (ESC on my keyboard map) and the System Request menu (access via shift-esc on my keyboard map) needed to be removed from all user profiles with a user class of *USER.

The Operational Assistant Menu was easy just wrote a new menu (ASSIST) that checks user class to decide what options to display.

System Request was a bit more work as it does not use a *MENU but a *PNLGRP.

Here is what I have come up with:
I recreated the QGMNSYSR PNLGRP (SYSREQ PNLGRP) as the PRESYSREQ PNLGRP.
I created the exit program PRESYSREQ that displays the PRESYSREQ PNLGRP.
Added the exit program PRESYSREQ to the exit point QIBM_QWT_SYSREQPGMS, exit point format SREQ0100 with the exit program data set to 1.

Set The Profile Exit Program for all of the non-group profile profiles on the system.

End result all user of a user class of *USER see a subset of the options, all other users see the full list of options.

Thanks,
Monty

SYSREQ displays the PNLGRP QGMNSYSR.
I have a need to hide some of the options from a class of users.
I have written a replacement for QGMNSYS but do not know the variable(s) and their attributes the SYSREQ passes to the PNLGRP.
I do know the first var it passes is the dialog variable DSPOPT1 but do not know what the attributes of the variable are.

Before you say it, yes I know I can remove *public from the underlying commands but that does not fit the need.
I need to remove those options from the display for the class of users.

Does anyone know where I can find the variables and their attributes passed to the PNLGRP?

Thanks,
Monty
