Duane,

LOL - RUNAMTASK stands for Run Application Manager Task... Not like AM vs PM as in a morning task and an evening task...!!! So there is not a RUNPMTASK... ;) You may have been thinking about the Machine Manager commands RUNADSJOB vs RUNADEJOB where ADS = Auto Day Start jobs and ADE = Auto Day End jobs... RUNADSJOB is how you start the job scheduler after an IPL, I've never actually issued the RUNADEJOB command myself.

And yes, RUNAMTASK sets the library list, environment and company and LDA and checks authority, all that good stuff... Very convenient way to run JBA tasks from inside a CL program... And I believe it's the same format that Machine Manager uses... There is a newer version of that command called EXCAMTASK so if you have that one you will want to use it instead...

I'm not sure how many other available JBA commands would be useful from within a CL program...

Disclaimer - I'm not responsible for any damage caused by anything you do to your computer - use these commands at your own risk... That being said, let's continue...

You could try issuing the TOOLS command from any command line in JBA... If you have them installed on your system you should see a list like this one: TOOLS/UTILITIES - Run command TOOLS from any command line in System 21 XAT000 Administration Functions System: HQ140002 Type option(s), press Enter. Position to..... 1=Execute Command Opt Command Description ADDDSPFRID Add Display File Reference ID CLNUSRALC Tidy User Allocations CRTHLPPTR Create Application Help Text Pointers DGNRPGSRC Label Do Levels In RPG Source DLTDEP Delete File Dependencies DLTOBJ Delete Object DSPCTLDTA Display Application Control Data DSPDEP Display File Dependencies DSPDTAQ Display Data Queue DSPFLD Display File Field List DSPKEY Display File Key And Select/Omit Details DSPLIBDEP Display Library Dependencies DSPLIBSIZ Display Library Size DSPMBRSIZ Display File Member Sizes EXTDSPFRID Extract Display File Reference ID FINISH Clean Sign Off GENERIC Generic Command Facility GETGDA Get Group Data Area From Stack GETLDA Get Local Data Area From Stack GETLIBL Get Library List From Stack LSTRPG Print List Of RPG Source Member LSTSRC Print List Of Any Source Member MNTIPGLIBL Maintain IPG Product Library Lists MOVSRCMBR Move Source Member PRTDBR Print Database Relations PRTDUPMBRN Print Duplicate Member Names For Two Files PRTDUPOBJN Print Duplicate Object Names For Two Libraries PRTFLD Print File Field List PRTLIB Print Sequenced Library List PRTPGMREF Print Program References PUTGDA Put Group Data Area Onto Stack PUTLDA Put Local Data Area Onto Stack PUTLIBL Put Library List Onto Stack RGZDTALIB Reorganize Data Base Files In Library RMVDSPFRID Remove Display File Reference ID SCNSRCF Scan Source File SELMSG Select Message File Messages WRKLDA Work With Local Data Area (JBA Layout)

You can also try the WRKCMD command specifying the OSLSYS/*ALL option... This produces a much longer list... There may also be some commands found in IPGAMF4/*ALL and IPGCFF4/*ALL that are not in OSLSYS... It really depends on whether the person who installed JBA on your system issued the command to copy those tasks into OSLSYS or not...

Again, other than the PUT/GET commands I'm not sure how many of these can or should be used in a CL... The majority are for interactive use from the command line...

As far as documentation goes, I'm not aware of any documentation for the TOOLS commands but you could try the IBM Redbook - SG24-5967-00 which can be found on the IBM page: http://publib-b.boulder.ibm.com/Redbooks.nsf/9445fa5b416f6e32852569ae006bb65f/a87a82d37491c8c2852568a2007adaab?OpenDocument&Highlight=0,geac

There may be other people on the list who know more about the documentation of these commands so hopefully some of them will contribute what they know...

Thanks for letting me share your question with the list... Perhaps someone will benefit from the post.

Good luck...

Jeff,

  I noticed in your last posting to the mailing list, that you were using
something called "RUNAMTASK" .

  I'm assuming that the reason for this is to run all the JBA
pre-processors, and set the library list, but that's just a SWAG on my part.
This brings up a whole host of other questions, such as "is there a
corresponding "RUNPMTASK" and why not use that, are there other JBA commands
that we could be using in our CLLE programs or on command lines that we
should know about, and if so, where would I find information on them?

  Please feel free to respond via the list, if you think this would be
interesting information for everyone else also.

Thanks,
Duane
