Re: usage of indictators with menu options

Douglas, You create source using a language called UIM (User Interface Manager), normally stored in a source file QMNUSRC (or is it QPNLSRC, I can't remember). You create the menu using the Create Menu (CRTMNU) command and specify the menu type as *UIM. 
     .
     .
. 
    :cond name=a
          expr='(var1 = 100 *AND var2 > 0)'
          expr='*OR *NOT(var3 = 0)'.
    :cond name=b
          expr='chkobj("MENU2","*MENU","*READ, *UPD")'.
    :cond name=c
expr='chkusrcls("*PGMR")'. 

     .
     .
. 
    :menui
           cond=a
           help='option1/help'
           action='CMD CALL PGM01'
           option=1.Run report
    :menui
           cond=b
           help='option2/help'
           action='MENU MENU2'
           option=2.Administration
    :menui
           cond=c
           help='option30/help'
           action='MENU UTIL'
option=30.Utilities

I am not sure what you are referring to when you say that you create IBM-
style UIM menus Glen, could you elaborate?

Glenn,
How are you controlling the display with a UIM menu? I did not see any option that would allow me to nondisplay the item if the authority was not granted.
