Character-based categories versus System i Navigator categories

System value categories in System i® Navigator are different from the categories in the character-based interface. In the character-based interface, system values are grouped into categories by the Type (TYPE) parameter. However, the type parameters do not correspond directly to the categories in System i Navigator.

The groups of system values in the character-based interface can be used with the TYPE parameter:

*ALC

Allocation system values

*DATTIM

Date and time system values

*EDT

Editing system values

*LIBL

Library list system values

*MSG

Message and logging system values

*SEC

Security system values

*STG

Storage system values

*SYSCTL

System control system values

For example, the Auditing level (QAUDLVL) system value is in the Auditing category in System i Navigator. However, in the character-based interface, the system value's type parameter specifies *SEC (security), so this system value is grouped with the security-related system values.
