Re: Compiling menus via WDSc

Here's an example of what I mean. This is the command executed on a
particular menu of mine:

?BB15 ??PROCS(*N) ??PRINT(*NO) ?-RAWPKGLST(*SAME/PKGLBLAL) ?-MBR(ORDERS)
?-SUBMIT(*YES) ?-LBLGRP(*STD)

When the menu option is taken, the command itself is prompted due to the ?
in front. The ?? in front of parms PROCS and PRINT allows the user to
change those and the ?- causes those parms to not even be displayed, meaning
that can't be changed. I also at times use ?* which shows that particular
parm, but it cannot be changed. (I know you already know about the ?, ??,
?-, and ?*; I just put it here for others who may not know. There are
others too, but I've never used them.)

Is all the possible when both building a UIM menu and when using it?

Thanks.
