Re: CL Optional Parameter Question

["Francis Lapeyre" <flapeyre@xxxxxxxxx>]

Or, you can always put in a command wrapper - the command itself can pass in
the default value to the CL. Something like this (the second parameter is
optional and will pass '001' to the CL if it's omitted):


CMD PROMPT('Report Submitter')

PARM KWD(REPORT) TYPE(*NAME) MIN(1) MAX(1) +

PGM(*YES) PROMPT('Report Program Name' 1)

PARM KWD(KEYCDE) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(3) DFT(001) +

RANGE(001 999) MIN(0) MAX(1) PROMPT('Key +

Sequence Code' 2)
