Re: Putting a Command String together in a Data Structure

[booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

   D Target           S         1024 
   C                Eval     Target = CmdName + ' ' + 
%EditC(NumericField2??) + '))'

Is  probably the easiest way.  The %EditC BIF has a couple of more entries 
where the ?? are.  I am not near a machine and so can't check but EditC 
works nicely.

 D CMD             DS  
 D  CmdName        C          CONST('SBMJOB(CALL DATESUPDT PARM(') 
 D  Fieldone  
 D   Space         C                   CONST(' ')  
 D  Numericfield2        7  0                                      Date 
Entered  "Num" 
 D  ALpha2                    7    OVERLAY(Numericfield2)  Date Entered 
"Char" 
 D  CmdEnd         C                   CONST(')')  

I am obviously all wet in how to accomplish putting together a command in 
a 
data structure.  Can anyone tell me how to create a Command with variable 
parms.    I realize now that I can't have a constant inside of a data 
structure 
but I don't know how to define it.  The second parm field I'd like to pass 
as a 
character.  Currently it's a date that's in Numericfield2 and I'd like to 
change 
it into character so it will pass to the other program ok.

Thank you for any and all suggestions.
