In fact, you can use PickList to build a list of databases, phone numbers, or any list you need your user to choose from. You can then set Variables or take action accordingly.

Always use PickListAdd with the PickListDisplay command. Also, you typically use PickListAdd with the SetPlat command.

The user has three accounts for this application and wants to be able to pick which one to use. The user picks an account to use, and SecureLogin (using the SetPlat command) switches to that set of credentials.
