RE: How To Create A Command With Different Options

Actually, in order to do what the OP is requesting he needs to use the Prompt Control (PMTCTL) parameter on the PARM statement in conjunction with the Prompt Control (PMTCTL) statement. The Dependency (DEP) statement is not related to prompt control.

Hi

How would you create a command that has different options? 

For example, consider the SAVOBJ command.  If *SAVF is entered in the Device option, then the "Save File" option is displayed when you press ENTER.

I want to create a command that has 2 choices in an "Activity" option.  The user can enter either DELETE or UPDATE in the "Activity" option.  When ENTER is pressed, the command should display different options.

The DELETE option would display an option requesting a password.
The UPDATE option would display options related to the columns/fields to update.

Thank you
