Hello Jeff,

Question of ignorance.

The only thing I use STRSDA for is green screen menus. Are you saying this
can be done in RDi? Commands behind the options too?

Can't answer your question. But I highly recommend switching to UIM menus:
- Looks 1:1 like IBM menus
- Naturally scrollable by default
- Enforces inclusion of help text
- Allows "copybook" includes for elements which are always the same
- Only one menu object instead of *MENU, MSGF, and *DSPF with DDS

If you know a bit how HTML tags work, you'll be fine with GML tags being used by UIM. Syntax is explained in the Application Programming PDF.

:wq! PoC
