RE: Adding an Item to a Menu

If you copy it to your custom environment (an approach I agree with), you
will also need to copy all the existing authorities to the BLANK menu to the
custom environment too.  To the best of my knowledge, there is no facility
in STRM400 to copy authorities from one environment to another.

You could do it using an SQL statement though.

Actually if you are adding a totally custom menu then adding it to the 
blank environment is probably the most efficient way, just don't define it 
as belonging to an application and try a naming convention that does not 
conflict with any standard S/21 menus.  You should never modify a standard 
S/21 menu in the blank environment, instead copy it to your custom 
environment and modify it there.

Do not ever edit a menu in the blank environment.

Bill,

I don't know where the info can be found, but here's a few simple steps
STRM400 <ENT> 5 - APPLICATION MGR <ENT> 4 - MAINTAIN MENUS <ENT> Enter Menu
Name and environment <ENT> Move cursor to space in front of where to type
new option. Must put single quotes in front and back of your text Eg. '10.
Test Option'  <ENT>

F6  or skip these lines and go to F8 below
Enter Option number
10 <ENT>
Choose APPL 1(default) or
             Menu or
             User defined <ENT>
IF APPL enter info required (company, env, rls, task#)  You can prompt.
<ENT> IF MENU type in menu name <ENT> IF USER DEFINED type in command
(SIGNOFF or RUNQRY or whatever fits on 
line)
<ENT>

F8 Should see your option line created ord if you skipped above step you 
can
enter details yourself.
Then either F8 or <ENT>

I guess MEX can give you more details if you need.

Regards
