Also, PDM isn't always loaded on every system.

PM Please respond to Midrange Systems Technical Discussion <midrange-l@midra nge.com> Actually, the functionality you are looking for can be obtained by working with lists of objects via PDM (STRPDM) ...

Kenneth -----Original Message----- From: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Landess Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2004 2:36 PM To: Midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: WRKOBJ - Is this a bug or a feature? This has always irritated me - I am used to being able to specify a parameter value on the bottom line of an iSeries display produced by a command such as WRKSPLF and WRKUSRPRF. Let me explain. For example: If I type WRKSPLF SOMEUSER, then I will get a list of all spooled files for that user. If I want to change the outq for several of these spooled files at once, I can put a 2 next to each spooled file that I want to change, then on the command line at the bottom of the WRKSPLF display type OUTQ(NEWOUTQ), press <Enter>, then all of the spooled files will be changed to the new output queue. The same technique works for the WRKUSRPRF command - I can place a 2 beside several user ids, then type a parm value at the bottom of the screen, and it will change all of them when I press <Enter>. The WRKOBJ screen it doesn't work this way. WRKOBJ allows you to place an 8 by an object to view the object description. The default (as shipped from IBM) for the DETAIL parm of the DSPOBJD command is *FULL. When I put an 8 by several objects on the WRKOBJ screen at the same time, and then type DETAIL(*SERVICE) on the bottom line, I would expect to get a display of the *SERVICE object description of each object, one at a time, by pressing the <Enter> key. Instead, it highlights the first 8 and I get the message "Parameter DETAIL specified more than once." on the message line at the bottom. However, if I place an 8 by several objects on the WRKOBJ display, enter DETAIL(*SERVICE) on the bottom line, and press F4 to prompt, on the prompt screen it DOES fill in the value of *SERVICE for the DETAIL parm, but this requires me to press the <Enter> key twice for each object for which I want to see the *SERVICE object description. What gives? Why the inconsistency between the two commands? I have never reported this to IBM - I figure that they'll just say, as JDE (PeopleSoft) always says, "That is a feature, NOT a bug".
