Re: Retrieve command defaults

["Bruce Vining" <bvining@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The API Retrieve Command Definition (QCDRCMDD) will return command
parameter defaults.  The output is in UTF-8 (an encoding of Unicode) XML so
you may want to first retrieve the definition to an Integrated File System
stream file and then look at the results using EDTF before trying to parse
through the results in RPG (so you know what you're getting into).

The API can be found under the Program and CL Command category of System
APIs.

Hello group,

I wonder if anybody knows of a way (API or other) to retrieve the defaults
for a certain command.

I already searched de FAQ, the IBM website and the API reference, but I
could not find it.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
