One way of prompting, assuming you're in SEU, is to hit F13 and change the syntax check type from RPGLE, REXX or whatever to CLP. Prompt your command(s) then set your syntax back to the original. Either that or cut'n'paste from a prompted command on the F21 command line. Basic but fairly quick. > Note the RPG IV reference to keep this topic remotely on track :) Hopefully likewise ;-) > Regards, > Simon Coulter.
