No additional program, he is saying that it can be done in its entirety from
within the command itself.

Are you referring to a prompt override program?

Doug - my question to you would be
Why not ask this RPG programmer how he does it.
Now I'm interested how this is done.
Post his response

Thanks in advance

I am aware of that, but he specifically said that is not what he is
referring to, he is saying that it can all be done from within the
command
itself and not require another program.

Doug,

Check out the VLDCKR (validity checking program) parm on the CRTCMD
command. This allows you to specify further validation programs before
the
main control program is called. More information can be found in the
CL
Programming guide. SC41-5721

Ok here is a challenge






I received this from one of our RPG gurus and I thought I would
present
it
to the midrange group and see what ya'll thought:



There is a way to completely control the input from a command and
validate
it before the program is actually called. There is also a way to
present
the
actual valid parameters without hard-coding anything. As an example
you
could have a command that takes a division number and if you do not
enter

a
division that exists in the DIVISION file it will not accept the
value.
This
is true for anything you want to validate, a date, time, printer,
username,
etc. Most programmer shy away from writing powerful commands as they
do
not
understand them.





Anyone?
