As a part of our Advanced Search, we give the ability to select the area of the site you want searched. So, for example, you could select the category 'CL and APIs' at V5R1. You can also get a list of all commands by descriptive name at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/html/as400/v5r1/ic2924/info/rbam6/rbam6alphatable.htm#HDRALPHATABLE or all APIs at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/html/as400/v5r1/ic2924/info/apis/alpha.htm For the V5R2 site, you'll be able to search the API and CL categories separately through the advanced search. And, we are providing two new 'finder' functions - a CL command finder and an API finder. You can use these to search for an API or CL command by descriptive name, name, or a part of the name. These finders are similar to the V5R1 System Value finder at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/html/as400/v5r1/ic2924/info/rzakz/rzakzfinder.htm I think these finders will give you what you are asking for.
