Well I wouldn't like to presume how IBM do it, but I don't know any way of doing this on the command itself. Being a product manager for a product which front ends every function with a command (over 1000 of them and rising!) I have done most things that are possible on commands, but have never seen that. It would be possible to translate a parameter prior to the CPP, if you did the processing in a prompt override program, or in a validity checker, though with the latter, IBM do state that it is not guaranteed that any values changed in a CVC will be passed to the CPP correctly. I guess we can also add to the list the new command exit programs available. I would say though that doing it in the CPP would be the most straightforward way. If you do find a means of doing this some other way, I would be very interested in the solution!

I really meant in the Command source itself, rather than the CPP. I'm writting the command, and I was trying to get one parm to default to the value of another. It looked like, in the CPYF example, IBM was doing what I wanted and I wondered how they did it. Are you saying they do it in the Command Processing Program rather than in the Command source itself? I was trying to get the default value into the parm before it ever got to the CPP. I'm not sure if that is possible or not. > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike.Collins@syan.co.uk [SMTP:Mike.Collins@syan.co.uk] > Sent: Monday, July 01, 2002 8:45 AM > To: midrange-l@midrange.com > Subject: Re: Command Parameter Question > > > How we do it is simplicity itself: > > IF (&TOMBR = '*FROMMBR') THEN(CHGVAR &TOMBR &FROMMBR) > > > > > "Smith, Nelson" > <NSmith@lincare.co To: > "'midrange-l@midrange.com'" <midrange-l@midrange.com> > m> cc: > Sent by: Subject: Command > Parameter Question > midrange-l-admin@m > idrange.com > > > 01/07/2002 13:20 > Please respond to > midrange-l > > > > > > > On a CPP, is there a way to get one parameter to default to the value of > an > earlier parameter? > Seems like I have seen this on some IBM commands, but I can't seem to > find > anything on how to do it.
