[SYSTEM21] Re: JBA commands

Duane,

LOL - RUNAMTASK stands for Run Application Manager Task...
Not like AM vs PM as in a morning task and an evening task...!!!
So there is not a RUNPMTASK...  ;)
You may have been thinking about the Machine Manager commands RUNADSJOB vs 
RUNADEJOB where ADS = Auto Day Start jobs and ADE = Auto Day End jobs...  
RUNADSJOB is how you start the job scheduler after an IPL, I've never 
actually issued the RUNADEJOB command myself.

And yes, RUNAMTASK sets the library list, environment and company and LDA 
and checks authority, all that good stuff...  Very convenient way to run JBA 
tasks from inside a CL program...  And I believe it's the same format that 
Machine Manager uses...  There is a newer version of that command called 
EXCAMTASK so if you have that one you will want to use it instead...

I'm not sure how many other available JBA commands would be useful from 
within a CL program...

Disclaimer - I'm not responsible for any damage caused by anything you do to 
your computer - use these commands at your own risk...  That being said, 
let's continue...

You could try issuing the TOOLS command from any command line in JBA...
If you have them installed on your system you should see a list like this 
one:
TOOLS/UTILITIES - Run command TOOLS from any command line in System 21
 XAT000        Administration Functions                    System: HQ140002
 Type option(s), press Enter.                   Position to.....
 1=Execute Command
 Opt Command    Description
     ADDDSPFRID Add Display File Reference ID
     CLNUSRALC  Tidy User Allocations
     CRTHLPPTR  Create Application Help Text Pointers
     DGNRPGSRC  Label Do Levels In RPG Source
     DLTDEP     Delete File Dependencies

     DSPDEP     Display File Dependencies
     DSPDTAQ    Display Data Queue
     DSPFLD     Display File Field List
     DSPKEY     Display File Key And Select/Omit Details
     DSPLIBDEP  Display Library Dependencies

     DSPMBRSIZ  Display File Member Sizes
     EXTDSPFRID Extract Display File Reference ID

     PRTDBR     Print Database Relations
     PRTDUPMBRN Print Duplicate Member Names For Two Files
     PRTDUPOBJN Print Duplicate Object Names For Two Libraries
     PRTFLD     Print File Field List
     PRTLIB     Print Sequenced Library List
     PRTPGMREF  Print Program References
     PUTGDA     Put Group Data Area Onto Stack
     PUTLDA     Put Local Data Area Onto Stack
     PUTLIBL    Put Library List Onto Stack
     RGZDTALIB  Reorganize Data Base Files In Library
     RMVDSPFRID Remove Display File Reference ID
     SCNSRCF    Scan Source File
     SELMSG     Select Message File Messages
     WRKLDA     Work With Local Data Area (JBA Layout)

You can also try the WRKCMD command specifying the OSLSYS/*ALL option...  
This produces a much longer list...  There may also be some commands found 
in IPGAMF4/*ALL and IPGCFF4/*ALL that are not in OSLSYS...  It really 
depends on whether the person who installed JBA on your system issued the 
command to copy those tasks into OSLSYS or not...

Again, other than the PUT/GET commands I'm not sure how many of these can or 
should be used in a CL...  The majority are for interactive use from the 
command line...

As far as documentation goes, I'm not aware of any documentation for the 
TOOLS commands but you could try the IBM Redbook - SG24-5967-00 which can be 
found on the IBM page:
http://publib-b.boulder.ibm.com/Redbooks.nsf/9445fa5b416f6e32852569ae006bb65f/a87a82d37491c8c2852568a2007adaab?OpenDocument&Highlight=0,geac

There may be other people on the list who know more about the documentation 
of these commands so hopefully some of them will contribute what they 
know...

Thanks for letting me share your question with the list...  Perhaps someone 
will benefit from the post.

Good luck...

Jeff,

  I noticed in your last posting to the mailing list, that you were using
something called "RUNAMTASK" .

  I'm assuming that the reason for this is to run all the JBA
pre-processors, and set the library list, but that's just a SWAG on my part.
This brings up a whole host of other questions, such as "is there a
corresponding "RUNPMTASK" and why not use that, are there other JBA commands
that we could be using in our CLLE programs or on command lines that we
should know about, and if so, where would I find information on them?

  Please feel free to respond via the list, if you think this would be
interesting information for everyone else also.

Thanks,
Duane
