CL Command List > CRTMSGFMNU Reference
Description:
The Create Message File Menu (CRTMSGFMNU) command creates a menu (display file) from the specified message files. You can specify that this menu is created either in a fixed-format, with options 1 through 24 arranged in two columns, or in free-format.
If you want to create a menu from the source member, use the Create System/36 Menu (CRTS36MNU) command.
Restriction: Option 5 of the operating system must be installed to run this command. This command can be run either natively or in the System/36 environment.
Examples:
CRTMSGFMNU CMDTXTMSGF(MYMENU##) REPLACE(*YES) FREEFORM(*NO)
This command creates a menu by using a message file named MYMENU. The message file is located in the current library for the job and it contains the commands run for each menu option. Because no OPTTXTMSGF parameter is specified, the text of the command appears on the screen in place of the option text. REPLACE(*YES) specifies that an existing display file is replaced. The created display file is in a fixed-format, with options 1 through 24 arranged in two 12-element columns.
