Re: CL prompter problems still abound -- WDSCI-L

Thanks, Violaine - was venting when I recommended QCAPCMD. This is so frustrating, as you can imagine. I really like the formatting now available, as well as indenting. But I broke indenting the other day, too. Haven't reported that yet. ;-) From outside the blue walls we can only guess why something that has worked so well for 20 years is replaced by something that offers a lot of good things but is functionally and operationally flawed.

Oh well, I really do appreciate your efforts and those of your colleagues.

Hi Vern,

I have opened APAR SE18053 for this problem.  The fix target is 5.1.2.4
As Don previously mentioned, 5.1.2.3 was for only one specific high
severity memory/caching issue and therefore contained no CL fixes.

Unfortunately calling QCAPCMD will not parse a command (which is the code
that generates the message you describe) in a way that the parser can use
so that parameters can be prefilled with specified values.
