DEFAULT WITH DEFINE

[Rohde Dirk (Van)]

I overlooked the "parm prompt".  Don't know of a way to specify a default
when prompting.  What's wrong with using a couple of defines or a temp and a
define, other than a little bit of extra coding?

Why not use a TEMP and set it to an initial value?  Or is this QUIZ?  If so,
use "if...then...else" processing.  Need more details as to what exactly
you're trying to do.

Is there a way to default a DEFINE statement without setting up another
DEFINE statement?

Example:

DEFINE TEMP01 DATE =  &
  PARM PROMPT "DATE:  " DEFAULT SYSDATE

I know the DEFAULT SYSDATE is not valid but that is what I want the
system to do.

Thanks,  Chris
