Re: Size of command in menus

If you're using a decent 5250 emulator (like ACS) hyperlinks should be
clickable without STRPCCMD. Then it will simply open their browser to that
link.

When I was mentioning prompting, I meant inside SDA where you enter the
menu command.

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

firing

off browser applications from the 5250 session and have difficulty in

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?
