Myron,
This sounds like choose might be better than a
dialog. That way only valid options will appear for the
user to choose from.
On my machine (CVAL('drives')) gave me the following
value: CDENs
You could use string commands to punctuate this
list.
Perhaps you could request from RDCC one of the
following additional commands:
LIST DRIVES
CHOOSE varname FROM #DRIVES
If (CVAL('drives')) returned a comma delimited list,
you could use that in a command like:
CHOOSE vDrive from #LIST (CVAL('drives'))
You could then use those results in a choose
statement.
