RE: validity checker program

["Shaw, David" <dshaw@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The main trick with the parms is determining their details - the number of them,
their size, the order in which they are passed, and whether there are any hidden
ones.  Dave McKenzie published a very useful utility for retrieving the source
for any AS/400 command.  I believe it's referenced on News/400's
shareware/freeware page at their web site - if my memory isn't completely shot
that's where I got it.  Once you know what the parms are, it's just a matter of
defining them correctly in your validity checking program - a tedious job on a
command like CHGJOB, but not terribly difficult.  Good luck!

One note: You MUST check the command for changes whenever you install a new
release of OS/400, and make sure your validity checker is properly attached and
working.  Again, it's not difficult, but if you're on a tight schedule during an
upgrade it's potentially onerous.

Hello All,

I want to restrict the CHGJOB-command.
For this I have looked at the archive and found a tip to use a validity checker
program, but I also read, that it is difficult to handle all the parms.

I have never before wrote a validity checker-program and in the books I found
nothing that would help me.

Can anyone help ?
