Re: Creating command with variable parameters

You have received some examples answering your direct question, but if you
are into APIs you might find the Retrieve Command Definition (QCDRCMDD) API
<https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.4?topic=ssw_ibm_i_74/apis/qcdrcmdd.htm>
useful.
It will generate a XML form of how the command is defined and it works with
pretty much any command you might be wondering "how does it do that" about.

I need to create a command with parameters that vary based on other values
entered. The best example I can think of is the SAVOBJ command. If I
specify DEV(*SAVF), it provides the area to enter the savf name. If I
specify DEV(TAPMLB30), it provides the area for the volume identifier and
sequence number.



I have googled for how to do this but I am apparently missing the keywords
(no pun intended) for google to return the correct search results. Does
anyone have a command that does this that they would be willing to share?
