Creating a CL Command using *SAME as a parameter
Hi,
I'm currently creating a *PGM and *CMD to allow local IT sites to update a few options on a CHGUSRPRF but have hit an issue with the OUTQ parameter. The CMD screen will show *SAME for all of the parameters as below.
User Profile . . . . . . . . . . > USRPRF
Message Queue Delivery . . . . . *SAME
Output Queue . . . . . . . . . . *SAME
Output Queue Library . . . . . .
Printer Device . . . . . . . . . *SAME
Text . . . . . . . . . . . . . . *SAME
Locale . . . . . . . . . . . . . *SAME
The issue I have is the command does not accept a default value of *SAME and throws up the below error.
Value '*SAME ' for parameter OUTQ not a valid name.
I know that it's complaining because the character value begins with an asterix (*). Does anybody have any ideas of how to get around this issue?
Any suggestions would be greatly accepted....Thanks

Answer Wiki:
You need to use SPCVAL on the definition of the parameter in the command definition.
This is from a command to retrieve DDS for a file to a specific source member:
PARM KWD(SRCMBR) TYPE(*NAME) LEN(10) DFT(*FILE) +
SPCVAL((*FILE)) PROMPT('Source Member')
You would want to change *FILE to *SAME but the principle is the same. The CPP looks for the value *FILE and substitutes it for whatever was specified in parameter FILE.
