True, Vern. Whenever I have to add another option to one of our menus, which are already overcrowded, I convert it to UIM. What I would really like to see is, at least, an SDA-like interface to designing one.

You can, also, use UIM panels for display files. Haven't drunk that kool-aid yet, but it looks interesting.

Gotta say it!! Change over to UIM menus! Almost all of the IBM menus are this type - did a quick survey of the menus in QSYS - 1 DSPF menu, 6 PGM menus, and a PF menu - whatever that is!!


DSPF PCOMNU PF CLEANUP PGM ASSIST PGM CFGIPI PGM CFGIPX PGM CFGTCP PGM PERFORM PGM PERFORMG

You get scrollability with UIM menus, but only one column, whereas DSPF types give you 2 columns but no paging.

Very easy to write, after the first one!!!

JMHO!

SDA menus use the CRTMNU command also.

CRTMNU MENU(MENU400) TYPE(*DSPF).

I would think you could add a customer compile command for them. Only problem is you need to create
the *MSGF object along with the *MENU object.

I assume you've already created the *DSPF object.

Should be doable, might work best if you use a custom CL program as a compile command that creates
both the *MSGF and *MENU. Might take some programming to get the messages from the MNUCMD source into
the *MSGF.

Subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] Compiling menus via WDSc

Hmmm, I never tried compiling MNUDDS style menus outside of SDA. When I
tried using a '14' option in PDM, it told me that there was no such
option available.

UIM menus, on the other hand, do use the CRTMNU command to compile. For
those type menus the CRTMNU command does show up in the 'Compile..'
option of the toolbar and elsewhere.

I can edit my menus via LPEX (MNUCMD) and CODE/Designer (MNUDDS) but I
cannot find a way to compile them. Can they be compiled via WDSc or
does it require SDA?
