The frame's pmenu should display independent of what you do with the PMENU
command, so I don't think the CALL EXECCMD statement makes a difference
here.

You should see a note in the SAS log if the PMENU entry fails to load.  The
note should provide a clue.

Did you check the value of pmenuname?  You can place a PUT statement in the
INIT section:  put pmenuname=
and then start the app and check the SAS log.

Does the INIT code belong to the frame who's pmenu you are attempting to
display?

When I try it, the pmenu displays fine.  Did you check the SAS Tech Support
Website, as suggested by Richard, for known problems associated with
displaying pmenus?

Subject: How to set PMENU programatically


I am trying to set a PMENU programatically.  I am using the following code
in the INIT: block of my SCL code for a frame.

call execcmd("pmenu on");
libname=getnitemc(getniteml(envlist('L'),'_CMDLIST_'),'LIBNAME');
pmenuname = libname || '.easymonitor.asrm.pmenu'; _frame_.pmenuEntry=
pmenuname;

I have also tried this code with "pmenu off" instead.  Neither case worked.
Any ideas?
