Re: User state UNDEL2 utility available

At V5R1 there is the QCDRCMDD API, which should have no problems with system 
state, as it comes from IBM:

========================
The Retrieve Command Definition (QCDRCMDD) API retrieves the command definition 
source for a given command in XML tag language format. The source is returned 
in the destination provided in UTF-8 (CCSID 1208). See the Document Type 
Definition (DTD) in /QIBM/XML/DTD/QcdCLCmd.dtd for details of the XML tag 
language returned by this API.
========================

At V5R1 it did not return information about hidden parameters (defined with 
CONSTANT). At V5R3 a second format for the return variable was added that gives 
you everything.

There is a style sheet at IT Jungle - you could search there - that is a start 
at giving you the true command. It has a couple errors and is missing several 
things, but it is a start. The DTD is located at /QIBM/XML/DTD/QcdCLCmd.dtd. No 
need for MI anything here.

This API returns current defaults (CHGCMDDFT results), not the originals as set 
by IBM or a vendor.
