<h1 class="topictitle1">Use the CMD statement</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>When you define a command, you must include one and only one CMD
|
||
|
|
statement with your command definition statements.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"> <p>When you define a command, you can provide command prompt text
|
||
|
|
for the user. If the user chooses to be prompted for the command instead
|
||
|
|
of entering the entire command, the user types in the command name and presses
|
||
|
|
F4 (Prompt). The command prompt is then displayed with the command name and
|
||
|
|
the heading prompt text on line 1 of the display.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you want to specify
|
||
|
|
prompt text for the command, use the PROMPT parameter on the CMD statement
|
||
|
|
to specify the heading for the prompt. You then specify the prompts for the
|
||
|
|
parameters, elements of a list, and qualifiers on the PROMPT parameters for
|
||
|
|
the PARM, ELEM, and QUAL statements.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>On the PROMPT parameter for the
|
||
|
|
CMD statement, you can specify the actual prompt heading text as a character
|
||
|
|
string 30 characters maximum, or you can specify the message identifier of
|
||
|
|
a message description. In the following example, a character string is specified
|
||
|
|
for the command ORDENTRY. </p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>CMD PROMPT('Order Entry')</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>Line 1 of the prompt looks like this after the user types in
|
||
|
|
the command name and presses F4. </p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>Order Entry (ORDENTRY)</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you do not provide prompt text for the command
|
||
|
|
you are defining, you only need to use the word CMD for the CMD statement.
|
||
|
|
However, you may want to use the PROMPT keyword for documentation purposes.</p>
