Where allowed to run: Interactive environments (*INTERACT *IPGM *IREXX *EXEC)
Threadsafe: No

Parameters

Error messages

The Work with Programs (WRKPGM) command allows you to show a list of programs from one or more libraries.

Restrictions:

Only the libraries to which you have use (*USE) authority will be searched.
Only the programs to which you have object operational (*OBJOPR) authority will be shown.
To perform operations on the programs, you must have *USE authority to the command used by the operation, and the appropriate authority to the programs on which the operation is to be performed.

Program (PGM)

Specifies the programs to be shown.

This is a required parameter.

Qualifier 1: Program

*ALL: All programs are shown.
generic-name: Specify the generic name of the programs 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 programs that have names with the same prefix as the generic name are shown.
name: Specify the name of the program 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.
