On the AS/400 the commands follow a simple pattern. Either verb-noun or verb-adjective-noun. For example WRKDSKSTS. There are a multitude of ways to learn the commands. Try typing in the following WRKDSK* and pressing enter. This should give you a list of all commands beginning with WRKDSK. In case this is not supported on your version of OS, then prompt for the command SLTCMD for select command. If you like menus you could try one of the following: GO MAIN and try to chase it down from there. Another popular option is to GO CMD### where ### is the noun or adjective you want to work with. For example GO CMDDSK. For the real brave there is STRSST. Be careful messing around in there. Rob Berendt ================== Remember the Cole!

I successfully used PWRDWNSYS. Also, DSPOBJD (which ran for about 10 mins. -- I thought it was broke!) indicates that the system is at level 2.1. I ordered some AS/400 manuals from Amazon.com; will these newer manuals be of any help with such an old operating system? Will some things work as documented (will ANY?). Next question: how do I display what disks are on the system, their volume IDs, and what libraries they have on them? Remember, I'm coming from a Wang minicomputer, which resembles the AS/400 in many ways, but has a much more user friendly interface: you just press "manage disks", then pick the volume you want, then the library from that volume. Thanks, Bob Sitko <--snip--> Use DSPOBJD QCMD and scroll through the information; <-snip--> ----------------------------------------------- FREE!
