VALUES

The VALUES parameter is of type TEXT. Enclose its value in double quotes.

When the parameter is set, the end-user is presented with a list of possible values to choose from.

VALUES must be set in different ways for the different types of EXTRAs:

  • TEXT EXTRA. Values set must be enclosed in single quotes and separated by spaces. The complete list must be enclosed in double quotes.
  • NUMBER EXTRA. Values must be separated by spaces. The complete list must be enclosed in double quotes.

EXTRA TEXT name_variable 
   LEN ( 10 )
   DFT ( "Johnson Al" )
   PROMPT ("Select a customer:")
   VALUES ("'Johnson Al' 'Franklin A' 'Parker C' 'Biafra J'")

The value set at DFT must be part of the list of values set with VALUES.
