In the ADAM implementation, the prompt a user of an application sees usually originates from the interface file, and hence is fixed. However, it is possible to create a prompt string dynamically from within the application. For example,
CALL PAR_PROMT( 'OK', 'The file '// NAME( :NC ) / : / ' is to be erased. OK ?', STATUS )
will change the prompt string for parameter OK, so that the named file given by the variable NAME, may be substituted at run time.
