The Work with Alert Tables (WRKALRTBL) command shows a list of alert tables and allows you to change and delete specified alert tables, work with alert descriptions contained in specified alert tables, and create new alert tables. More information on the alerts is in the Alerts Support book, SC41-5413.
Restrictions:
- Only the libraries to which you have use (*USE) authority will be searched.
- Only the alert tables to which you have some authority will be shown on the display.
- To perform operations on the alert tables, you must have *USE authority to the command used by the operation, and the appropriate authority to the alert tables on which the operation is to be performed.
Alert table (ALRTBL)
Specifies the alert tables with which you want to work. A specific alert table name or a generic alert table name can be specified. Either type of name can be optionally qualified by a library name.
This is a required parameter.
Qualifier 1: Alert table
- *ALL
- All alert tables in the libraries identified in the library qualifier are searched. You can display only those alert tables for which you have some authority.
- generic-name
- Specify the generic name of the alert tables to be shown. A generic name is a character string that contains one or more characters followed by an asterisk (*). If a generic name is specified, all alert tables that have names with the same prefix as the generic alert table name are shown.
- name
- Specify the name of the alert table to be shown.
Qualifier 2: Library
- *LIBL
- All libraries in the library list for the current thread are searched. All objects in these libraries with the specified object name are shown.
- *CURLIB
- The current library for the thread is searched. If no library is specified as the current library for the thread, the QGPL library is searched.
- *USRLIBL
- If a current library entry exists in the library list for the current thread, the current library and the libraries in the user portion of the library list are searched. If there is no current library entry, only the libraries in the user portion of the library list are searched.
- *ALLUSR
- All user libraries are searched. All libraries with names that do not begin with the letter Q are searched except for the following:
#CGULIB #DSULIB #SEULIB
#COBLIB #RPGLIB
#DFULIB #SDALIB
Although the following Qxxx libraries are provided by IBM, they typically contain user data that changes frequently. Therefore, these libraries are considered user libraries and are also searched:
QDSNX QRCLxxxxx QUSRIJS QUSRVxRxMx
QGPL QSRVAGT QUSRINFSKR
QGPL38 QSYS2 QUSRNOTES
QMGTC QSYS2xxxxx QUSROND
QMGTC2 QS36F QUSRPOSGS
QMPGDATA QUSER38 QUSRPOSSA
QMQMDATA QUSRADSM QUSRPYMSVR
QMQMPROC QUSRBRM QUSRRDARS
QPFRDATA QUSRDIRCL QUSRSYS
QRCL QUSRDIRDB QUSRVI
- 'xxxxx' is the number of a primary auxiliary storage pool (ASP).
- A different library name, in the format QUSRVxRxMx, can be created by the user for each previous release supported by IBM to contain any user commands to be compiled in a CL program for the previous release. For the QUSRVxRxMx user library, VxRxMx is the version, release, and modification level of a previous release that IBM continues to support.
- *ALL
- All libraries in the system, including QSYS, are searched.
- name
- Specify the name of the library to be searched.
WRKALRTBL ALRTBL(ALRTBLLIB/AL*)
This command shows a list of all alert tables in library ALRTBLLIB whose names begin with 'AL'. From the list shown, you can change, delete, or work with the alert descriptions in any or all of the alert tables shown. You can also create a new alert table.
