Lecture 3 The User Interface / CL Commands / Message Commands / Spool File / Jobs

- Four different types of screens:

. menu screen
. list screen
. entry screen (command prompt screen)
. information screen

- CL commands can consist of a verb and a noun or a verb, an adjective and a noun. Abbreviations
are used to construct CL commands. Vowels are rarely used in a CL command.

WRK CHG DSP CRT DLT CPY OBJ STR STS SYS WTR

Or use the Wildcard like WRK* or DSP* to see all the commands

- A CL command has two kinds of parameters: required parameter and optional parameter.
- CL Keyword Notation
Command Name Keyword (Value) Keyword(Value) Keyword(Value)

. The parameters can be in any order.

. Function key F11 is very useful to view your keyword for a command

= = = > WRKMSG MSGQ(userlib/userid) OUTPUT(*)

- CL Positional Notation

. When parameter values are entered by position, they must be entered in the order in which they
are specified within the command syntax.

. The F4 prompt lists the parameters in sequence.

= = = > WRKMSG userlib/userid *

- Combination of keyword and positional notation

. The position parameters must occur first, once keyword notation is used, positional notation is no
longer valid, and any additional parameters must be specified in keyword notation.

= = = > WRKMSG userlib/userid OUTPUT(*)

Qualified Command vs Non-Qualified Command

- When you specify a command with library, it is qualified like call mylib/pgma
- When you specify a command without library, it is non-qualified like call pgma
- In a non-qualified command the system will go over your library list and search for pgma
