The Work with Node Lists (WRKNODL) command allows the user to work with a list of node list objects, to create a new node list, delete existing node lists, and to work with node list entries.

Restrictions:

  1. Only the libraries to which you have *USE authority are searched.
  2. Only the node list to which you have some authority is shown on the display.
  3. To perform operations on the node lists, you must have *USE authority to the command used by the operation, and the appropriate authority to the node list on which the operation is to be performed.

Node list (NODL)

Specifies the qualified name of the node lists that are shown.

The node list name can be qualified by one of the following library values:

*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 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 portion of the job's library list, including QSYS, 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

  1. 'xxxxx' is the number of a primary auxiliary storage pool (ASP).
  2. 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.
library-name
Specify the name of the library to be searched.

The possible values are:

*ALL
All the node lists specified in the library are listed.
node-list-name
Specify the name of the node list being shown.
generic*-node-list-name
Specify the generic name of the node list being shown. 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 returned, only if *ALL or *ALLUSR library values can be specified for the name.

Examples 

WRKNODL   NODL(MYLIB/MY*)

This command shows a list of all node lists in library MYLIB whose names begin with the letters 'MY'.
