There are various Unix shell ways to do this but if you would rather not 
suffer the ugliness of the shell here are some native code examples that 
will do what you want.  The CPPs are in C because that was convenient -- 
you can translate to RPG IV easily enough.

SHWJOBPID:  CMD        PROMPT('Show PID for Job')

            PARM       KWD(JOB) TYPE(Q1) DFT(*) SNGVAL((*)) +
                         PROMPT('Job name')

Q1:         QUAL       TYPE(*NAME) LEN(10) MIN(1) EXPR(*YES)
            QUAL       TYPE(*NAME) LEN(10) MIN(1) EXPR(*YES) +
                         PROMPT('User')
            QUAL       TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(6) RANGE(000001 999999) +
                         MIN(1) FULL(*YES) EXPR(*YES) PROMPT('Number')
