Re: having PROBLEMS WITH A CL

[Ravi <ravi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Leslie,

If you want to display the screen from a CL:

Create the DSPF
Declare the file in your CL (DCLF)
SNDRCVF DSPF (This will display the screen and wait for user to enter
data. The fields defined in the screen can be referenced in your CL)
Then CHGDTAARA data_area_name VALUE(&filename) (this will update the
data area with the value in the &filename field).
