Thanks everyone for the information. It is exactly what I asked for but
after reviewing, it was not what everything that I needed :( The piece that
I misses was that I need to be able to supply a default value for a keyword
based on the value of another keyword.
My command will be used as a user defined option in PDM so I have a member
name and the source type (RPGLE, CLLE, PF, LF, etc.). My command will have
two keywords that are linked - object attribute and object type. When the
user enters the option beside a member, I need to provide the default value
for the object type but let them change it before processing the command.
For example, if they select an RPGLE member, I will provide them with *PGM
but allow them to change it to *MODULE.
Have I bitten off more than I can chew with commands?

Subject: 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?
