My first experiment at creating/designing a panel with action bar choices.

I have created a panel, but what I can't seem to find anywhere is how to disable (programmatically) an action bar option.
Let's assume I have a menu option with 3 choices.
Depending on what the user selects (somewhere on the panel), I might want to disable options 2 & 3.
Another choice might result in options 1 & 3 being disabled and option 2 now being enabled.

Is this something I can do via my panel/via a call to Rexx or do I have to program/define it in a DTL for the panel.

Forgot to give an example above. On our system, if I enter 3.4, one of the action bar options is RefMode.

If I select this, I see that one of the options (List execute/List retrieve) is enabled, the other disabled. If I select the (one) option I can, the enabled/disabled are reversed

You need something like this in your panel definition (basically, it's the UNAVAIL parm connected to a variable and the setting of the variable to 0/1 that does the trick)
