Re: Size of command in menus

I cannot do prompts. the command string for the URL get way too long.

Here is an example:

STRPCCMD PCCMD('"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox" "
http://mpower:8011/mrcjava/servlet/LCN_IT.M00010s";')

Is there another way to do this?

This is the maximum size I could get. Some commands needs more space. URLs
get space hungry especially if you need to put in a UPS tracking number.

TIA

Does prompting work for you, or does still limit the actual length of the
command you can enter? It's been a while since I've done menus.

For URLs on a screen, I've used screens. You can make a pretty large
variable to hold the URL. You mentioned you didn't want to use a program,
but that may be your only choice unless you can use a URL shorten-er.

I need a longer menu command line in the menu system (STRSDA). I am

off browser applications from the 5250 session and have difficulty in
getting to shorten the command.

An option would be to create a program for each menu options, but I would
prefer not to as that is just more to maintain.

Is it possible to increase the length of the command line in the menu's
created using SDA?
