Hi,

how to give input values at the run time in PLI programs for the variables declared. Suppose, I have a program when I run my program it should ask for choice at the run time acc. to that it should perform particular logic related to that choice. How can I get this? Is it possible through PLI programs.

Thanks in Advance,
Hema

Have you looked at the manual:
Quote:
The GET statement is a STREAM input data transmission statement that can either:

* Assign data values from a data set to one or more variables
* Assign data values from a string to one or more variables.

For a stream input file, use the following syntax for the GET statement.
