Job description (JOBD)
Specifies the job descriptions to be shown on the Work with Job Descriptions display.
This is a required parameter.
Qualifier 1: Job description
- *ALL
- All job descriptions are shown.
- generic-name
- Specify the generic name of the job descriptions 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, all job descriptions that have names with the same prefix as the generic name are shown.
- name
- Specify the name of the job description to be shown.
Qualifier 2: Library
- *LIBL
- All libraries in the library list for the current thread are searched. All objects in these libraries with the specified object name are shown.
- *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 QRCLxxxxx QUSRDIRDB QUSRVI QGPL QSRVAGT QUSRIJS QUSRVxRxMx QGPL38 QSYS2 QUSRINFSKR QMGTC QSYS2xxxxx QUSRNOTES QMGTC2 QS36F QUSROND QMPGDATA QUSER38 QUSRPOSGS QMQMDATA QUSRADSM QUSRPOSSA QMQMPROC QUSRBRM QUSRPYMSVR QPFRDATA QUSRDIRCF QUSRRDARS QRCL QUSRDIRCL QUSRSYS
- 'xxxxx' is the number of a primary auxiliary storage pool (ASP).
- 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.
