Question
hi can you tell me how to create the menu option in as400
by which we can call the cls .

Answer
To create a menu, most programmers design a DDS display file to describe the menu options, and a CL program to present the display file prompt and then execute those options.  The steps required to do this are more complex than can be explained in an e-mail, but are presented in most entry-level CL programming books.

However, IBM offers another way to create a menu through SDA, which is described at this link:
