Expanded Parameter Definitions

Expanded Parameter Definitions

This appendix contains expanded descriptions of certain parameters which are common to several or many commands.

The CA 2E Toolkit command parameter definitions meet one or both conditions:

• Have extensive information about how they are used
• Used in several commands and it is more efficient to describe them centrally

The list name parameters identify lists of objects, database files, or file members that are created or processed:

• LST
• OBJLST
• MBRLST
• FMTLST
• DBFLST

The list parameter is a qualified name made up of two elements:

• Name of list: Must be a valid i OS system name, ten characters long, begin with a letter, and contain no embedded blanks.
• Name of library containing list: Must be the name of an existing library, for example YEDTOBJLST OBJLST (QGPL/FRED)

N.B. Lists should not be stored in libraries whose names begin with the letter Q, apart from libraries QTEMP and QGPL.
