Re: Question about command parameters (PARM statement)

James,

I believe you want something like this:


      DEP        CTL(*ALWAYS) +             
                 PARM( +                    
                   (&USER *EQ QSYS) +       
                   (&USER *EQ QSPL) +       
                   (&USER *EQ QSECOFR) +    
                   (&USER *EQ QDOC) +       
                   (&USER *EQ QDBSHR) +     
                   (&USER *EQ QRJE) +       
                   (&USER *EQ QLPAUTO) +    
                   (&USER *EQ QLPINSTALL) +
                   (&USER *EQ QTSTRQS) +    
                   (&USER *EQ QDFTOWN)) +   
                 NBRTRUE(*EQ 0) +           
                 MSGID(CPD1617)             


Hope that helps,

Mark S. Waterbury

In defining a command's parameters, I see a number of ways to define
what values are specifically *allowed* for a parameter.

Is there a way to define several (in this case, ten) distinct values
*prohibited* for a parameter?

In this case, the parameter is a value to be passed to a SBMJOB's "USER"
parameter, and so it should accept either a valid SNAME or "*CURRENT,"
but reject the user profiles that are prohibited for that parameter of
SBMJOB.

And if I can reject it at the command level, rather than the CPP level,
then a wrong value will of course keep it from compiling in a CL
program, and make it fail a syntax check in SEU.
