Modified: 16-Jun-2021
Applies To

- "Menu" described in this article is an IBM i native menu
- Compiled via CRTMNU command with parameter TYPE(*DSPF)
- CRTMNU also supports TYPEs *PGM and *UIM, which are supported by Implementer, but not discussed in this article

- Both members reside in the same "Default source file" defined in object code
- MNUCMD source member name is the same as the menu name with 'QQ' appended to name
- Compiled objects consist of *MSGF, *MENU, and *FILE object types having the name of the menu
- Compiled via CRTMNU command with parameter TYPE(*DSPF)
Description
- Promotion of the DSPF and MENU objects fails to process to Target environments when created using the SDA utility on iSeries
