Last Week’s Review Any Questions?

CL Syntax Command-name (space) parameter

CL Syntax Do all commands have parameters? Why should you always press F4 following a command instead of enter?

Positional or Keyword? By Keyword, both these are allowed CRTLIB LIB(PAYROLL) TYPE(*TEST) TEXT(‘Payroll Development’) CRTLIB TYPE(*TEST) TEXT(‘Payroll Development’) LIB(PAYROLL)

Positional Allowed: –CRTLIB PAYROLL *TEST Not Allowed –CRTLIB *TEST PAYROLL

Syntax Question How could you find the keyword syntax to Create a Physical File named EMPPF in Library IBC233LIB with a record length of 120 characters?

Menu Questions Which menu groups together all of the Work With commands? Which menu groups together all of the commands by subject?

Menu Menus GO MAIN main menu (F16) GO MAJOR major commands menu (F4) GO VERB action menu GO SUBJECT objects menu GO CMDxxxx verb, noun, function

Objects Chapter 3

Today’s Lecture Use of ‘*’ on the AS/400 Use of ‘?’ on the AS/400 AS/400 Architecture Object Types Storing Objects Manipulating Library Lists Spooled Files Work with Jobs Commands

What does the ‘*’ denote?

‘*’ (Asterix) When used before an ‘AS/400’ word, indicates that the word is a special value. eg. CRTLIB LIB(MYLIB) TYPE(*TEST) TEXT(‘Test Library) When used at the end of a word, indicates a generic combination of alphanumerics (wildcards). eg. WRKLIB TST*

Use of the ‘?’ Entering a command to see all possible values for a parameter. F4 does the same

What is an Object?

Objects Takes up Space on the AS400 Has a Description Has an Object Type

Object Types

A Library Search

Object Types Certain types of commands only work with certain types of Object Types eg. DSPUSRPRF Object Type is assigned to the Object at time of creation eg. CRTLIB creates objects with a type of *LIB

How does the AS/400 find Objects?

AS/400 finds Objects Qualified Names Library/Object IBC233LIB/REVIEWS Using Library Lists! How are Library Lists sequenced?

AS/400 finds Objects Note: Library Descriptions, Device Descriptions and User Profiles are stored in QSYS. All other Object Types can be stored anywhere.

What is a Spooled File?

Spooled Files AS/400 objects that contain data for printing Are stored in Output Queues To print a Spooled File, the file must be moved to an Output Queue attached to a printer.

How Do Spooled Files get Created? Program/ Command Data Report Layout Job Output Queue *FILE Spooled File QINTER

DC234X99 SPLF#1 SPLF#2 PRT01 SPLF#3 SPLF#4 Change the Spooled File to OutQ PRT01

Work with Jobs Command To display information about your current Interactive job, simply type: WRKJOB To display information about any other job, use the Work With Job and enter the Job Name and User. Number is Optional. To display your Batch Jobs, use the Work with Submitted Jobs Commands (WRKSBMJOB)

WRKUSRJOB Shows you a list of all of the jobs that you own on the system irregardless of the subsystem Status –Active = Job is currently running –Outq = Job is finished –Jobq = Job is waiting to process. To delete a ‘run-away’ job, take option 4

Problems ? Enter GO SENECA on the command line. You will get a menu for information on fixing your user profile if you cannot sign on.

Test 1 Date IBC233 - Friday Sept. 26, 2003

Before Next Lab Reread Chapter 3. Maybe now it makes sense Print Lab 3.

Before Next Class Do the Review Questions for Chapter 3. Read Chapter 11.
