You need to give more information. Sounds like you have an RPG program that uses a DSPF. On the DSPF you use F4=PROMPT. Do you want to pass data to the F$ prompt program or do you want to return information from that program?

You can not pass parameters to a file.

Please describe where you see the <F4> key. I would normally think that a question like this might be related to passing a parameter value into a query over a PF. And DSPF <F4> seems like a real good guess, too.

Otherwise, I can’t really think of a good description of what the question means.

If you use the P(rompt) F(unction) F4 key on IBM maintenance screens you can pass a parameter on the command line at the bottom of the display. You will need to provide the Parameter keyword and the value. eg OUTQ(myoutq)
