Mohammad,

There are plenty of people here willing to "help".  From your questions, I am
guessing you are a novice to the AS/400.  Maybe you should spend some time in
training before you attempt projects.

BTW,  you would only need a CL pgm, display file, and a query to accomplish
your goal.  You do not need an RPG also.  Actually, you could get away with
only a CL and a CMD, but the easier way right now is probably via the CL only.
Look up SNDRCVF, DCLF, and RUNQRY commands.  I am assuming you want to be
selective about the DSPOBJD info being displayed, which is why you want to do
an output file instead of just displaying it to the screen.

Good Luck.

HTH,

Tony Hipszer

1-does CHKOBJ command only work in a CL program?
2-how does a CL pgm. execute a command that displays an error mssg.
for instance?
3-how does CALL QCMDEXC in rpg pgm. execute the DSPOBJD command so
that a temporary output file in QTEMP is created?

basically i'm working on a pgm. that a user inputs an obj. name, lib.,
and obj. type.

if the obj. does not exist CL pgm activates error msg.

if the obj. does exist then the temporary file created in QTEMP by
CALL QCMDEXC (that activates DSPOBJD cmd)
should have some of its info displayed on an output screen.

hope this makes sense.
