Allow value selection on command prompting

When prompting on a command, it might show a number of well known values, or present a list from a choice program, however the value must always be typed in again.

It would be easier if the option was offered to select one of these values by positioning the cursor in front of it (ex. 1=Select) or on top of it.


Use Case:

We have commands with rather long selection values which requires us to re-type them each time instead of just selecting them from a list.

    IBM does not intend to provide a solution to this request at this time, so it is being closed.

    IBM has received this requirement and is evaluating it. IBM will provide a response after evaluation is complete.
