You can have a full command line on UIM menus - just another tag - not sure if that is your question.

Basically these are what IBM uses for almost everything - the behavior you see there is what these give you. In our products we have commands with various prompting as the action behind the menu item.

I just tried an IBM menu - MAIN - put a "1" on the command line and pressed F4 - got a message that you cannot prompt menu items.

Does that make sense?

Do the UIM menus you create have full command prompting like regular menus?
You know, the ?? and ?- and ?* stuff. And are those promtable during design
and runtime?

What tool do you use to convert from regular to UIM menus?

Thanks.

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.

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)

compiled via
WDSc or does it require SDA?
