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.
While I can remember the more common parameters (given a chance I can create a CPYF with fromfile, tofile, members, etc. (and a CRTFILE(*YES) now and then) without prompting. But in a CL program I usually let the prompter format things.
I've heard this is good practice, just in case IBM re-arranges a parameter on you.

Am I the only one using ||, |<, etc for CL instead of the verbose option?
Not the only one, but I think most people probably don't do enough CL
programming to really keep in mind what those mean. There may also be
some traditionalists who always use *GT and *LE and so forth, and then
for consistency also use *CAT.
Personally, I find that the names for all the parameters are
maddeningly verbose, far more verbose (and far more maddening) than
*CAT and friends. I'm pretty aggressive about omitting parameter names
when I can.
