At times, even more interesting are some of the odd .EXEs that you can find in the iSeries (Client) Access directory under /Program Files/IBM, e.g., wrksplf.exe and lstjbl.exe.

Booth:

All it takes is for you to navigate to the directory on your (or an appropriate) PC and run one of them. Double-click, for example, wrksplf.exe and see what happens. The interesting ones for this have fairly suggestive names, different from the various CWB* files.

It can take a couple minutes to grasp what the <help> message tells you or perhaps a Windows-knowledgeable programmer can give guidance. Mostly, just create a shortcut and add the <help>-indicated parms to the shortcut command. It might be something like:

> ...lstjob.exe /system MYAS400

Be aware that some <help> messages are a little mismatched between some of the .EXEs, but it should become obvious how things work. These have been around for many years.

Any further discussion should probably go to Midrange-L.
