MENU Parameter

The MENU parameter identifies a menu held in a menu file. Menu names must always be valid system names, that is: be up to ten characters long, begin with a letter, (or @ or #), and contain no embedded blanks. Menu names must be unique within a member. In many commands a special value of SELECT is allowed for the menu name. Specifying this value gives you a selection display of available menus.

YWRKMNU MENU (SELECT)

Menus must be stored in one or more menu files: a menu file is a database file having the same format as the file YDSNMNU in the utility library. The command Create Design File (YCRTDSNF) should be used to create any additional copies of the menu file required, as it will create a file of the correct format. A default copy of the menu, YDSNMNU is shipped with CA 2E.
