If you have a tip for administrators from your own experience, why not submit it at http://search400.techtarget.com/tipsPrize/0,289492,sid3_prz757255_cts757251,00.html. Like Derrick Kostiner, who submitted this tip, your tip will be posted on our site, and you'll be entered in our tips contest for some awesome prizes. ----------------------------------------------- Add a command to the WRKOBJPDM display by pressing F16 to view the available 2 character commands. Press F6 to create a new command. I chose the code RQ for 'RUNQRY'. On the command line type RUNQRY QRYFILE((&L/&N)) RCDSLT(*YES) and press enter to save it. From the Work with Object using PDM you can now type the option RQ in the Opt field next to any Physical or Logical file. The Query record selection screen will come up first allowing you to filter the records in the query. This is a fast way to view data in a file, and it is useful if you're solving a problem or preparing to create a more complicated query, SQL statement, or program. PDM commands can be created for many AS/400 commands that execute on a single object. With PDM they can then be easily executed on many objects interactively or submitted to a JOBQ if the command created is inside a submit job (SBMJOB) command. ============================= READER FEEDBACK ============================= Did you like this tip?
