Character-based categories versus IBM Navigator for i categories

System value categories in IBM® Navigator for i 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 IBM Navigator for i.

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 IBM Navigator for i. 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.
