RE: DSPFD logical file "based on file" info to outfile

I must be losing my ever-loving mind. I did a DSPFFD FILE(QSYS/QAFD*) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) to get the field info on all the DSPFD outfile formats and searched for "based on". I never noticed the APBOF & APBOL fields in the QWHFDACP format, which are labeled "Physical file" and "Library" and which is not helpful AT ALL.

Thanks Mark!

Hi, Dan,

I think this:

DSPFD FILE(libname/*ALL) TYPE(*ACCPTH) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE)
FILEATR(*PF *LF) OUTFILE(QTEMP/DSPFDACPTH) will give you what you are after.

Hope that helps,

Command "DSPFD <LF file> TYPE(*ALL)" shows the based-on physical files. I need to get this info on all LF files into an outfile. TYPE(*ALL) isn't valid for an outfile. I haven't found any TYPE parameter that can be used with an outfile and that provides based-on physical files info.

SYSFILES has the information in the BASED_ON_FILES column, but it's provided as:
{"BASED_ON_FILES":[{"LIBRARY":"TESTLIB","FILE":"SAR7001P","MEMBER":"SAR7001P","LF_FORMAT":"RSAR7001"},{"LIBRARY":"TESTLIB","FILE":"CTYID","MEMBER":"CTYID","LF_FORMAT":"RSAR7001"}]}
I'd really rather not have to parse that out.

Any ideas?
