I'll assume you wanted to prompt for a data value when the PA is executed; just remove the <<>> if not (as others stated).
If you do, then '2' might not be the best prompt; but perhaps you meant to use the 2nd [required] command line token? Then use <<C2>>. If you want to prompt the user for the value if not present on the command line, then use <<I2,prompt.string>>. -Keith ----Original Message---- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Barry Brevik Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2005 10:46 AM To: U2-users (E-mail) Subject: [U2] [UV] problem with DATA and INPUT > This is UV v9.6.1.3 on Windows. > > I have a paragraph which in part looks like this: > > RUN BPCUST B$SOD16AE > DATA <<2>> > > Inside the program B$SOD16AE, I have a line like this: > > IF SYSTEM(10) THEN INPUT XML.TYPEX, 1 > > The problem is that the program halts at the INPUT as if it is > waiting for input which has already been provided via the DATA <<2>>. > I can see the "2" on my screen, and if I press ENTER the program > continues, but does not seem to get the "2". > > I must be doing something stupidly wrong, but I don't have it fixed > yet <g>. > > Anybody got an idea as to where I've lamed-out? > > P.S. the reason for the IF SYSTEM(10) is that the program gets called > from other paragraphs that do not have the extra DATA statement. > > Barry Brevik > ------- > u2-users mailing list > [email protected] > To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
