<div><p>Command prompters allow you to prompt for command parameters and
values. </p>
<p>Command prompters can be invoked directly or called from application programs.
Using the prompters allows you to easily build syntactically correct CL command
strings, because the prompters insert parameter keyword names and parameter
delimiters, such as apostrophes and parentheses, for you. The CL prompters
also provide access to online command help, which can be used to describe
the command, parameters and parameter values, command examples, and error
messages signaled by the command.</p>
<p> iSeries™ Navigator
provides a graphical CL command prompter for use on a client PC. iSeries Access
for Web provides an HTML form-based CL command prompter for use in a web browser.
The Remote System Explorer function also provides a graphical CL command prompter.</p>
<p>i5/OS™ provides
a CL command prompter that you can use from the command line by pressing F4.
In addition, the <span class="apiname">Display Command Line Window (QUSCMDLN)</span> API
allows you display a command line from within an application.</p>
