Problem
This document describes and contains one command that can be used to change object information as described on Change Object Description (QLICOBJD) API for IBM i.
Resolving The Problem
This document describes a command that allows users to change object information that cannot be changed using the CHGOBJD command. The command is CHGOBJINF. The CHGOBJINF command can be used from the command line and can be submitted as a batch job or can be included in a High Level Language program (HLL).
Prompting on the CHGOBJINF command displays the following:
An example of running the CHGOBJINF command from the command line follows:
Press the Enter key.
An example of submitting the CHGOBJINF command from the command line follows:
Command Entry XXXXXX
Request level: 4
Type command, press Enter.

The following program is an example of how to use the CHGOBJINF command inside a HLL program. This program can be submitted or can be run from the command line:
BEGIN: PGM
/**/
CHGOBJINF OBJ(TESTOBJD) OBJTYPE(*PGM) +
CHGOBJINF(X'00000002000000010000001E4040404+

040404040')
/**/
END: ENDPGM
Before running the CHGOBJINF command, the program TESTOBJD looks similar to the following:
After running the CHGOBJINF command, the program TESTOBJD looks similar to the following:
As you can see, I removed the information related with Source File, Library, Source Member, and Source file change the date and time.
The CHGOBJINF object are in a save file that contains the following:
Following is the save file:
To restore the objects, send the save file to your system, and run the following command from the command line:
RSTOBJ OBJ(*ALL) SAVLIB(QTEMP) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(QGPL/CHGOBJINF) RSTLIB(QGPL)
Press the Enter key.
Note: The following shows how to call the QLICOBJD API directly:
