I like to use the same program for validity checking and processing the
command.

The first time the program is hit, create a data area in qtemp, then
validate.

The second time the program is hit, check parms, run command, and delete
data area.

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?

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?
