WRKFORMDF (Work with Form Definitions)
WRKFORMDF Command syntax diagram
Purpose
The Work with Form Definitions (WRKFORMDF) command allows you to work with all of the form definitions from the system or user libraries (or both).
Optional Parameters
- FORMDF
- Specifies the qualified name of the form definition.
The name of the form definition can be qualified by one of the following library values:
*LIBL: All libraries in the job's library list are searched. All objects in these libraries with the specified object name are shown.
*CURLIB: The current library for the job is searched. If no library is specified as the current library for the job, the QGPL library is used.
*USRLIBL: Only the libraries in the user portion of the job's library list are searched.
*ALL: All libraries in the system, including QSYS, are searched.
library-name: Specify the name of the library to be searched.
*ALL: All form definitions in the libraries identified in the library qualifier are listed. Only those form definitions for which the user has some authority are shown.
generic*-form-definition-name: Specify the generic name of the form definition. A generic name is a character string of one or more characters followed by an asterisk (*); for example, ABC*. The asterisk substitutes for any valid characters. A generic name specifies all objects with names that begin with the generic prefix for which the user has authority. If an asterisk is not included with the generic (prefix) name, the system assumes it to be the complete object name. If the complete object name is specified, and multiple libraries are searched, multiple objects can be worked with only if *ALL or *ALLUSR library values can be specified for the name. See generic names for additional information.
form-definition-name: Specify the name of the form definition that is listed.
Example for WRKFORMDF
WRKFORMDF FORMDF(*CURLIB/FORMDF1)This command searches the current library for the form definition FORMDF1. If FORMDF1 does not exist, the WRKFORMDF panel shows a message indicating that an object matching the specified name cannot be found.
