Re: Validity checking program parms

[boothm@xxxxxxxxxxx]

One solution I've used is to go to the command line, type the command, and use F4.  That lists all of the parms. and you can fill the parms in with bogus data i.e. '1234567890' until the fields are full, and press enter.  Of course it will fail.  Then use F9 and the command will be as IBM wants it.  On dltsplf it looks like this:

                          Delete Spooled File (DLTSPLF)                    
                                                                           
 Type choices, press Enter.

Does anyone know if there's a manual somewhere that tells how parms are
supposed to be defined for a validity checking program written in CL for
a specific command (in this case the dltsplf command)?  I know the parms
are supposed to be received in the same order that they appear in the
command prompt but I keep getting parameter error messages.  (A search
of the online books and this mailing list didn't turn up anything.)
