You will need to get comfortable with using Display files. Have you done that before?

You'll need to design the display file and then reference it in your program. Add to your F spec's:

FWMYSCRN   CF   E             WORKSTN

Then in the main body of your code do something like:

exfmt MyScrnF;

Then retrieve the value from the prompt. I usually have a DOU loop plus something that edits for a correct value and exits the loop so you don't dump garbage into your program.

You could also do something in CL that would prompt for the value and then pass it into the program. Either approach should work.
