Hi again,
I would like to know if there's a way to pass an input
string to a .PROMPT directive.
I tried as follow:
!do script test
.label start
SCRIPT input
.prompt 24,6,"Type an input string "
.exit
!script script input
ciao{cr}
...without success!!!
Suggestions or pointers are more appreciated!
Bye
Graziella

Hi, What do want to achieve by doing this? If I know that, it makes it easier to suggest a good way to do it. Scott | |||||

I'm working with MANENTI, so ...
we would run a SCRIPT script that calls a DO script where there's
".prompt xxx".
How can we YES to the ".prompt xxx" from the SCRIPT script ?
We hope it's clear.
Thanks for help !

You cannot.
.PROMPT was a method to ask directly for input (from the user) during
CBIs. Since CBIs are SCRIPT scripts, it had to ignore the SCRIPT stack.
The PROMPT command (no '.') will put out a prompt, and will allow the
SCRIPT stack to satisfy the answer.
