The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

Once again, please keep in mind that IBM i comes with a built in
database called DB2. And DB2, like most databases, has something
called a "system catalog". There is no need to do a DSPOBJD of every
file out there to an output file. This file already exists and is
automatically updated whenever a file is created. Query the file
SYSTABLES. If you want a list of each partition (member) of each
table (file) then use SYSPSTAT.
Once again, keep in mind that the SQL Catalogs do not track every
database file object [including nothing in a QTEMP library]. Review the
selection, most notably the WHERE clause, of any catalog VIEW to see
what are omitted; one may have to direct their queries to the *DBXREF
data [dealing with the issues of both that data is not publicly
authorized and that permanent objects vs just queries (that should be
WITH NC and FOR READ ONLY) may be deleted by the system]. The Display
File Description (DSPFD) of the VIEW will also show the System Database
Cross-Reference file QADB* in QSYS over which the logical view is
defined to obtain the physical data.
