A DSPF menu has 3 objects - including a MSGF that lists what each menu option calls, as well as what the option numbers are. The other 2 objects are DSPFs and might not be much help, at first glance. There are attributes in the menu object itself that you'll want, like is there a command line and what kind - stuff like that.

Such a menu can be dynamic. I mean, MSGF content is checked each time the menu is displayed. However, as far as I remember, there is one requirement : the DSPF format name must be the same as the file name.

Mid 90s, I wrote an utility to create/copy/change/delete such a menu with the functionnality to enter text and command of the options. Create action was defining a DSPF source with all required information, compiling the DSPF and creating the MSGF with required message ids.

Since my retirement I have the project to recreate it and put it on github. Unfortunately, its status is still at the beginning...
