Example: A command output file

This example shows how to write the output from a control language (CL) command directly to a database file.

You can use the Display Program References (DSPPGMREF) command to collect information for all compiled programs in all libraries and place the output in a database file named DBROUT:

DSPPGMREF  PGM(*ALL/*ALL)  OUTPUT(*OUTFILE)  OUTFILE(DSTPRODLB/DBROUT)

You can use Query to process the output file. Another way to process the output file is to create a logical file to select information from the file. The following example shows the DDS for such a logical file. Records are selected based on the file name.

|...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8
     A* Logical file DBROUTL for query
     A
     A          R DBROUTL                   PFILE(DBROUT)
     A          S WHFNAM                    VALUES('ORDHDRL' 'ORDFILL')
     A
