Hi All,
Is there anyway to hold cursor position after a SAY statement in REXX?
For example, I have following REXX code.
| Code: |
Say ' Please Enter Your Option ===>'
Pull option
Say 'You have entered'option
|
Cursor will blink in next line after displaying "Please Enter Your Option ===>" string. But I want to hold it on the same line at the end of the message to pull my option.
Kindly let me know how to do this with REXX if it can be possible with REXX.
Thanks, |

Any particular reason that you would want to do that, let alone need to do that.
HAve you considered the use of ISPF panels to collect user input ? |

Hi Expat,
I am trying to create a menu driven program for that if I hold the cursor on the same line after requesting user input it looks good.
I am reading input from ISPF panel only.
Is there anyway to do that?
Thanks, |

Then you should use the panel to collect the option too.
There is no better way. |

FWIW, Though I know that CLIST is anathema to many using these fora, CLIST does support what you want to do via the WRITENR (write with no return) statement to display the "prompt" - followed by a READ statement to retrieve the response.
And the mainframe doesn't really mind if you use CLIST instead of REXX.
Your call. |
