Re: Display File for SQLRPGLE program.

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Michael is correct.  You will need a separate program to prompt for the 
value or you can use a display file inline to your CL program because 
the SQLRPGLE source type won't accommodate a display file and I/O from 
that file (as far as I know).

There are plenty of examples of using a CL to prompt for and pass the 
value.  As an alternative you could just front end the program with a 
command prompt but that would give you only a limited set of editing 
options.

Several ways to skin the cat (no offense to PETA....)  You may want to 
look at using a display file within a CL program first.
