Parameters

Keyword Description Choices Notes
FILE File Qualified object name Required, Positional 1
Qualifier 1: File Generic name, name, *ALL
Qualifier 2: Library Name, *LIBL, *CURLIB, *USRLIBL, *ALL, *ALLUSR
OUTPUT Output *, *PRINT Optional, Positional 2

File (FILE)

Specifies the name and library of the DDM files whose information is being shown. A generic DDM file name can be specified.

The possible values are:

*ALL
All files in the specified library (or all libraries identified in the library qualifier to which the user has access) are shown.
file-name
Specify the name of the DDM file to be shown. If *LIBL or *USRLIBL is specified as the library name, only the first file found with the specified name is shown.
generic*-file-name
Specify the generic name of the DDM files to be shown. A generic name is a character string that contains one or more characters followed by an asterisk (*). If a generic name is specified on this parameter, all files that have names with the same prefix as the generic file are shown.

Qualifier 2: Library

*LIBL
All libraries in the library list for the current thread are searched until the first match is found.
*CURLIB
The current library for the thread is searched. If no library is specified as the current library for the thread, the QGPL library is searched.
*USRLIBL
If a current library entry exists in the library list for the current thread, the current library and the libraries in the user portion of the library list are searched. If there is no current library entry, only the libraries in the user portion of the library list are searched.
*ALLUSR
All user libraries are searched. All libraries with names that do not begin with the letter Q are searched except for the following: 

#CGULIB     #DSULIB     #SEULIB
#COBLIB     #RPGLIB
#DFULIB     #SDALIB

Although the following Qxxx libraries are provided by IBM, they typically contain user data that changes frequently. Therefore, these libraries are considered user libraries and are also searched: 

QDSNX       QSYS2       QUSRINFSKR  QWQCENT
QGPL        QSYS2xxxxx  QUSRNOTES   QWQREPOS
QGPL38      QS36F       QUSROND
QMPGDATA    QUSER38     QUSRPOSGS
QMQMDATA    QUSRADSM    QUSRPOSSA
QMQMPROC    QUSRBRM     QUSRPYMSVR
QPFRDATA    QUSRDIRCF   QUSRRDARS
QRCL        QUSRDIRCL   QUSRSYS
QRCLxxxxx   QUSRDIRDB   QUSRVI
QSRVAGT     QUSRIJS     QUSRVxRxMx

  1. 'xxxxx' is the number of a primary auxiliary storage pool (ASP).
  2. A different library name, in the format QUSRVxRxMx, can be created by the user for each previous release supported by IBM to contain any user commands to be compiled in a CL program for the previous release. For the QUSRVxRxMx user library, VxRxMx is the version, release, and modification level of a previous release that IBM continues to support.
*ALL
All libraries in the system, including QSYS, are searched.
name
Specify the name of the library to be searched.

Output (OUTPUT)

Specifies whether the output from the command is displayed at the requesting work station or printed with the job's spooled output.

The possible values are:

*
The output is displayed (if requested by an interactive job) or printed with the job's spooled output (if requested by a batch job).
*PRINT
The output is printed with the job's spooled output.
