The DDS Menu paradigm might not be your best bet, but you can use the
MSGID keyword and an output field on your display file to display the
value of a message in a message file.

You can set the message text of the message to be the security code
value you want to display.

I tested this and found that i needed to edit and create the display
file separately from the SDA create menu process because SDA was not
keeping the field that I was attempting to add.

Hi my menus are generate in PDM using SDA with source members MNUSRC and
MNUSRCQQ in OS V5R4M0

I have been asked to show a Variable on the menu that changes each day, it is
actually a security code

the users need to validate a ticket issued by an automated console. I cannot get
the variable to show on

the menu, I have tried via a database file and a message file both do not work
database does not show and message

only shows message at compile time and does not update when message file
changes, any advise would be greatly

received.

I can do it on a display screen such as a subfile screen or a data entry screen
because I can chain to the file and retrieve

the code but not on a menu screen
