The Select Data  Base Member command  provides a display  of designated
members  within a file  and allows the  user to  select one.   A return
field  describes the selected member.   The command is designed for use
as a  sub function in  an application  where the user  wants to  select
from a  list of members.   The DMOSELMBR command  may be used  to try a
demonstration of the function.

To try the demo, against all members in QCLSRC, enter:

             DMOSELMBR     FILE(QCLSRC)

The  SELMBR command returns a  variable and therefore  may only be used
in a CL program such as:

             DCL           &RTNMBR *CHAR LEN(10)
              .
             SELMBR        FILE(...)  MBR(...) RTNMBR(&RTNMBR)

SELMBR escape messages you can monitor for
------------------------------------------

      TAA9891    F3 or F12 was used to end SELMBR
      TAA9892    The member does not exist

Escape messages from based on functions will be re-sent.

SELMBR Command parameters                             *CMD
-------------------------

   FILE          The  qualified  name  of  a  data  base  file  to   be
                 displayed.   A  specific  file name  must be  entered.
                 The library  defaults to *LIBL.   *CURLIB may be used.

   MBR           The member name to display.   The default is *ALL.   A
                 specific name or a generic name may be entered.

   RTNMBR        The  member  (if  any) selected  by  the  user.    The
                 return variable  is required and must  be specified as
                 *CHAR LEN(10).

                 If   the  user  does  not   select  a  member,  escape
                 messages TAA9891 or TAA9892 will be returned.

DMOSELMBR Command parameters                          *CMD
----------------------------

   FILE          The  qualified  name  of  a  data  base   file  to  be
                 displayed.   A  specific  file name  must be  entered.
                 The  library defaults to *LIBL.   *CURLIB may be used.

   MBR           The member name to display.   The default is *ALL.   A
                 specific name or a generic name may be entered.

Restrictions
------------

Because  SELMBR returns  a  variable,  it may  only  be  used in  a  CL
program and must be used in an interactive job.

Prerequisites
-------------

The following TAA Tools must be on your system:

     ADJVAR          Adjust variable
     CHKOBJ3         Check object 3
     DSPMBRD         Display member description
     SNDCOMPMSG      Send completion message
     SNDESCMSG       Send escape message
     TAAEXC          TAA Execute command

Implementation
--------------

None, the tool is ready to use.
