RE: Standard menu command length

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't understand.
The OP is already talking about using a command on the SDA menu, right?
He needs a bigger command line because he wants to add more parameters, right?
So how is copying the command and using CHGCMDDFT going to be different, other than allowing a shorter command string on the menu?

But changing the default won't cut it.  Unless I put ?-MYPARM(MYPARMVALUE) in there to suppress the display of that parm, it will be displayed and the user will be able to change it.
