Question for Alpha Users - Parameter passing QUICK Screens

[Rob Lobbe]

Try having your command procedure create an input script

$ ...
$ open/write tmp_fil  filename.qtin
$ write tmp_fil "execute qtp_filename.qtc"
$ write tmp_fil "''p1'"
$ write tmp_fil "''p2'"
$ write tmp_fil "exit"
$ close tmp_fil
$
$ define/user_mode sys$input filename.qtin
$ qtp
$ ...

Where P1 & P2 can be any symbol from the command procedure (or the 
parameters). This enables you to combine a number of fixed length 
parameters as only 1 parameter to the command file. Eg "YY" could be 
extracted to answer "Y" to two separate prompts.

The same procedure can be used for QUIZ (substitute QZ for QT) or even 
QUICK
