  The parameter choice program, albeit [AFaIK even by v6r1] without any 
capability for the user to select any item from the list; i.e. although 
a list can be generated for viewing, one must still copy\paste or type 
the chosen value they see in the list presented by F4=Prompt.  Often 
such a prompt might be implemented with a default of *SELECT special 
value which would have the CPP present a list and from its display file 
enable item selection.  FWiW the CPP could then present the prompted 
command again [with the specific value in the parameter instead of the 
*SELECT], to allow the user to process other parameters; not pretty, but 
functional.
