Hi

SBClient SBXA 6.6.2. Character mode, not GUI. 

We have our own menu file (CSMENUS) where we /MD to create menus with processes & programs as the menu options.

For each menu option listed within the menu, I would like to add some F1 help text for the user to see when using the menu & prtessing F1 on each option.
But I cannot figure out anywhere to input this or if it is possible. When pressing F1 on a menu option within a menu now I get [{MENUNAME}.REM,{POSITION}] NO HELP MESSAGE AVAILABLE.
Is it possible to get to this & enter some help text?

Full example:
Menu file CSMENUS
Menu name GE (General enquiry)
/MD Setup


Message when using menu & pressing F1 currently.

 

 

I’ve searched the forum & documentation but can’t find anything.

Thanks

Jack
