RE: Command Source

Rob,

In the source, put a ?? in front of the parm you want prompted.  The command
processor will prompt only those parms automatically.  If you put a ?* then
the command parm is prompted but they can not change it.  If you put a ? in
front of the command itself in the CL program, then the whole command will
prompt.

Do not put any spaces between the value and the parm.

This gives you the ability to show parms that can't be changed "?*'
show parms that can be changed - '??'
and show all parms to change - '??' on the command.

Hope this helps.

I have written a command to drive my CL program.  This command requires
parameters.

How do I force my command program to PROMPT without the user hitting F4?
