QLOGOUTPUT| 1 | Receiver variable | Output | Char(*) |
| 2 | Length of receiver variable | Input | Binary(4) |

The Retrieve System Values (QWCRSVAL) API lets you retrieve system values.
You must have either all object (*ALLOBJ) or audit (*AUDIT) special authority to retrieve the values for QAUDCTL, QAUDENDACN, QAUDFRCLVL, QAUDLVL, QAUDLVL2, and QCRTOBJAUD.
The variable that is to receive the information requested. For the format, see Format of Data Returned.
The length of the receiver variable described in the Format of Data Returned. If the length is larger than the size of the receiver variable, the results may not be predictable. The minimum length is 28 bytes.
The total number of system values to retrieve.
The names of the system values to be retrieved. This can be a list of system value names where each name is 10 characters.
The structure in which to return error information. For the format of the structure, see Error Code Parameter.
The receiver variable holds the information returned about each system value.
The receiver variable has three logical parts:
The following table shows the format of the receiver variable. The offset fields are repeated until the offsets for all the system values returned are listed; the system value information table for each system value is repeated in the same way. For a detailed description of each field, see the Field Descriptions.
| Offset | Type | Field | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dec | Hex | ||
| 0 | 0 | BINARY(4) | Number of system values returned |
| 4 | 4 | ARRAY(*) of BINARY(4) | Offset to system value information table |
| * | * | CHAR(*) | System value information table. This field is repeated for each system value returned. |
| Note: Each system value in the table is represented by the standard system value information table described in System Value Information Table. | |||
To determine the length of the receiver variable, the following calculation should be done. For each system value to be returned, get the length of the data returned for the system value and add 24. After adding the lengths for each system value, add 4. This calculation takes into account the data alignment that needs to be done; therefore, this value is a worst-case estimate. If the calculated length is less than what is needed to return all the system value information, then the value of the Number of system values returned field will match the actual number of system values returned. The system value information for the system values that won't fit will not be returned. For example, if a request is made to return information about 1 system value, and that information will not fit, then the Number of system values returned field will be 0 and there will be no information returned in the System value information table field.
The following table shows the format of the system value information table.

Allow jobs to be interrupted. QALWJOBITP specifies how the
system responds to user initiated requests to interrupt a job to run a user-defined
exit program in that job.
The Call Job Interrupt Program (QWCJBITP) API in the
iSeries Information Center contains information on using job interrupt exit programs.
The Change Job Interrupt Status (QWCCJITP) API in the
iSeries Information Center contains information on retrieving and changing the
interrupt status of a job.
The interrupt status of an active job can be changed at any time but will only take
effect when the value of QALWJOBITP allows jobs to be interrupted.
The possible values are:
| 0 | The system will not allow jobs to be interrupted to run user-defined exit programs. All new jobs becoming active will default to be uninterruptible. |
| 1 | The system will allow jobs to be interrupted to run user-defined exit programs. All new jobs becoming active will default to be uninterruptible. |
| 2 | The system will allow jobs to be interrupted
to run user-defined exit programs. All new jobs becoming active will default to
be interruptible.
|

Auditing control. The QAUDCTL system value is the on/off switch for object- and user-level auditing. The values allowed are:
| *NOTAVL | The user is not authorized to retrieve the current auditing value. You cannot change the system value to not available (*NOTAVL). |
| *NONE | No security auditing is done on the system. No security auditing is done on the system. |
| *OBJAUD | Actions against objects that have an object audit value other than *NONE will be audited. An object's audit value is set through the Change Audit (CHGAUD) command or the Change Object Audit (CHGOBJAUD) command. |
| *AUDLVL | The actions specified in the QAUDLVL and QAUDLVL2 system values will be logged to the security journal. Also actions specified by a user profile's action auditing values will be audited. A user profile's action auditing values are set through the AUDLVL parameter on the Change User Audit (CHGUSRAUD) command. |
| *NOQTEMP | No auditing of most objects in QTEMP is done. You must specify *NOQTEMP with either *OBJAUD or *AUDLVL. You can not specify *NOQTEMP by itself. |
Auditing end action. The QAUDENDACN system value indicates the action to be taken if auditing data cannot be written to the security auditing journal. These are the allowable values for the QAUDENDACN system value:
| *NOTAVL | The user is not authorized to retrieve the current auditing value. You cannot change the system value to not available (*NOTAVL). |
| *NOTIFY | The action that caused the audit to be attempted will continue after notification of failure to send the journal entry to the security auditing journal is sent to the QSYSOPR and QSYSMSG message queues. |

| 0 | The system will write the journal entries to auxiliary storage only when the system determines the journal entries should be written based on internal system processing. |
| 1-100 | The system will write the journal entries to auxiliary storage when this number of journal entries has been written to the security auditing journal. |
| -1 | The user is not authorized to retrieve the current auditing value. You cannot change the system value to -1. |
Auditing level. QAUDLVL is the security auditing level. This system value controls the level of action auditing on the system.
If the QAUDLVL system value contains the value *AUDLVL2, then the values in the QAUDLVL2 system value will also be used. If the QAUDLVL system value does not contain the value *AUDLVL2, then the values in the QAUDLVL2 will be ignored.
The values allowed are:
| *AUDLVL2 | Both QAUDLVL and QAUDLVL2 system values will be
used to determine the security actions to be audited.

| 1 | Remote power on and IPL are allowed. |
Remote sign-on. QRMTSIGN specifies how the system handles remote sign-on requests. The user can specify a program and library to decide which remote sessions will be allowed and which user profiles can be automatically signed on from which locations. The first 10 characters contain the program name, and the last 10 characters contain the library name. QRMTSIGN can have the following values:
| *FRCSIGNON | All remote sign-on sessions are required to go through normal sign-on processing. |
| *SAMEPRF | When the source and target user profile names are the same, the sign-on may be bypassed for remote sign-on attempts. |
| *VERIFY | After verifying that the user has access to the system, the system allows the user to bypass the sign-on. |
| *REJECT | No remote sign-on is allowed. |
Required password digits. QPWDRQDDGT specifies whether a digit is required in a new password. The possible values are:
| 0 | A numeric digit is not required in new passwords. |
| 1 | A numeric digit is required in new passwords. |
Retain server security data. QRETSVRSEC specifies whether security-related information for IBM-provided client/server applications is retained. The possible values are:
| 0 | Do not retain the security-related information. |
| 1 | Retain the security-related information. |
Save access paths. The QSAVACCPTH system value specifies whether to save logical file access paths that are dependent on the physical files that are being saved. The possible values are:
| 0 | Do not save access paths. |
| 1 | Save access paths. |
Scan file systems. The QSCANFS system value specifies the integrated file systems in which objects will be scanned when exit programs are registered with any of the integrated file system scan-related exit points. For more information on the integrated file system scan-related exit points, see the Integrated file system information in the Files and file systems topic. The values allowed are:
| *NONE | No integrated file system objects will be scanned. |
| *ROOTOPNUD | Objects of type *STMF that are in *TYPE2 directories in the Root(/), QOpensys, and User-defined file systems will be scanned. |
Scan file systems control. The QSCANFSCTL system value controls the integrated file system scanning on the system when exit programs are registered with any of the integrated file system scan-related exit points. These controls apply to integrated file system objects in file systems covered by the QSCANFS (Scan file systems) system value. For more information on the integrated file system scan-related exit points, see the Integrated file system information in the Files and file systems topic. The values allowed are:
| *NONE | No controls are being specified for the integrated file system scan-related exit points. |
| *ERRFAIL | If there are errors when calling the exit program (for example, program not found, or the exit program signals an error), the system will fail the request which triggered the exit program call. If this is not specified, the system will skip the exit program and treat it as if the object was not scanned. |
| *FSVRONLY | Only accesses through the file servers will be scanned. For example, accesses through Network File System will be scanned as well as other file server methods. If this is not specified, all accesses will be scanned. |
| *NOFAILCLO | The system will not fail the close requests with an indication of scan failure, even if the object failed a scan which was done as part of the close processing. Also, this value will override the *ERRFAIL specification for the close processing, but not for any other scan-related exit points. |
| *NOPOSTRST | After objects are restored, they will not be scanned just
because they were restored. If the object attribute is that "the object will not be
scanned", the object will not be scanned at any time. If the object attribute is that
"the object will be scanned only if it has been modified since the last time it was
scanned", the object will only be scanned if it is modified after being restored.
If *NOPOSTRST is not specified, objects will be scanned at least once after being restored. If the object attribute is that "the object will not be scanned", the object will be scanned once after being restored. If the object attribute is that "the object will be scanned only if it has been modified since the last time it was scanned", the object will be scanned after being restored because the restore will be treated as a modification to the object. In general, it may be dangerous to restore objects without scanning them at least once. It is best to use this option only when you know that the objects were scanned before they were saved or they came from a trusted source. |
| *NOWRTUPG | The system will not attempt to upgrade the access for the scan descriptor passed to the exit program to include write access. If this is not specified, the system will attempt to do the write access upgrade. |
| *USEOCOATR | The system will use the specification of the "object change only" attribute to only scan the object if it has been modified (not also because scan software has indicated an update). If this is not specified, this "object change only" attribute will not be used, and the object will be scanned after it is modified and when scan software indicates an update. |
Second. QSECOND is the system value for the second of the minute. Its value can range from 00 through 59.
Security level. QSECURITY is the system security level indicator. The possible values are:
| 10 | The system does not require a password to sign-on. The user has access to all system resources. |
| 20 | The system requires a password to sign-on. The user has access to all system resources. |
| 30 | The system requires a password to sign-on, and users must have authority to access objects and system resources. |
| 40 | The system requires a password to sign-on, and users must have authority to access objects and system resources. Programs that try to access objects through interfaces that are not supported will fail. |
| 50 | The system requires a password to sign-on, and users must have authority to access objects and system resources. Security and integrity of the QTEMP library and user domain (*USRxxx) objects are enforced. (Use system value QALWUSRDMN to change which libraries allow *USRxxx objects.) Programs fail if they try to pass unsupported parameter values to supported interfaces or if they try to access objects through interfaces that are not supported. |
Note: If this system value has been changed since the last IPL, this value is not the security level the system is currently using. This value will be in effect after the next IPL.
Serial number. QSRLNBR is the system serial number. An example of a serial number is 1001003.
Server authentication interval. QSVRAUTITV is the system value for the server authentication interval. The server authentication interval specifies the time interval of the server authentication in minutes. The following values are allowed:
| 1-108000 | The authentication of the token expires at the end of the interval specified. |
Service dump. QSRVDMP specifies whether service dumps for unmonitored escape messages are created. The values that are allowed are:
| *DMPALLJOB | Service dumps will be created for all jobs. |
| *DMPSYSJOB | Service dumps will be created for only system jobs, not user jobs. |
| *DMPUSRJOB | Service dumps are created for only user jobs, not system jobs. System jobs include the system arbiter, subsystem monitors, LU services process, spool readers and writers, and the start-control-program-function (SCPF) job. |
| *NONE | Do not request dumps in any jobs. |
Set job attributes from locale. The QSETJOBATR system value specifies the job attributes that are to be set from the job's locale. The possible values for QSETJOBATR are as follows:
| *NONE | No attributes are set, or use any combination of the following: |
| *CCSID | Coded character set identifier |
| *DATFMT | Date format |
| *DATSEP | Date separator |
| *DECFMT | Decimal format |
| *SRTSEQ | Sort sequence |
| *TIMSEP | Time separator |
Shared memory control. QSHRMEMCTL specifies whether or not users are allowed to use shared memory or mapped memory that has write capability. The allowed values are:
| 0 | Users are not allowed to use shared memory or mapped memory that has write capability. |
| 1 | Users are allowed to use shared memory or mapped memory that has write capability. |
Sign-on information. QDSPSGNINF is the system value for displaying sign-on information. The possible values are:
| 0 | The sign-on information is not displayed. |
| 1 | The sign-on information is displayed. |
Software error log. QSFWERRLOG
specifies whether system-detected
software problems are entered in the error log. The allowed values are:
| *LOG | When a software error is detected by the system,
the error is evaluated to determine if it should be logged
unconditionally, or if the decision to log the error should be deferred
to the policy based Service Monitor.
If the error is to be logged unconditionally, a PARable message is sent to QSYSOPR and an entry is created in the problem log. If the reporting component provides error data, a spooled file is created to contain the data. The spooled file name is stored in the error log and problem log entries. If the error is to be conditionally logged, the decision to log the error will be made by the policy based Service Monitor. If the decision is to log the problem, an entry is created in the problem log. The problem data will be stored in a problem data library and the problem record entry will be updated with the name of the library. |
| *NOLOG | No logging will occur if a software error is detected.
|
Sort sequence table. QSRTSEQ is the name of the table used for the sort sequence. The first 10 characters contain the name of the table, and the last 10 characters contain the library name. The values for QSRTSEQ are:
| *HEX | No sort sequence table is used. The hexadecimal values of the characters are used to determine the sort sequence. |
| *LANGIDSHR | The sort sequence table used can contain the same weight for multiple characters. The shared weight sort table associated with the language specified in the LANGID parameter is used. |
| *LANGIDUNQ | The sort sequence table used must contain a unique weight for each character in the code page, and it is the unique weight sort table associated with the language specified in the LANGID parameter. |
| sort sequence table name | The name and library of the sort sequence table to be used. |
Special environment. QSPCENV specifies the system environment used as the default for all users. The possible values are:
| *NONE | You enter the iSeries environment when you sign-on. |
| *S36 | You enter the System/36 environment when you sign-on. |
Spooled file action. QSPLFACN specifies whether spooled files can be accessed through job interfaces once a job has completed its normal activity.
| *KEEP | When the job completes its activity, as long as at least one spooled file for the job exists in the system auxiliary storage pool (ASP 1) or in a basic user ASP (ASPs 2-32), the spooled files are kept with the job and the status of the job is updated to indicate that the job has completed. If all remaining spooled files for the job are in independent ASPs (ASPs 33-255), the spooled files will be detached from the job and the job will be removed from the system. |
| *DETACH | Spooled files are detached from the job when the job completes its activity. |
Start printer writer. QSTRPRTWTR specifies whether printer writers are started at IPL. QSTRPRTWTR can be:
| 0 | Do not start printer writers. |
| 1 | Start printer writers. |
Startup program name. QSTRUPPGM is the startup program. This value specifies the name of the program called from an autostart job when the controlling subsystem is started. The first 10 characters contain the program name, and the last 10 characters contain the library name. *NONE means the autostart job ends normally without calling a program.
Status messages. QSTSMSG specifies whether or not the status messages are displayed. The values allowed are:
| *NORMAL | Status messages are displayed. |
| *NONE | Status messages are not displayed. |
System date. QDATE is the system date. QDATE is composed of the following system values: QCENTURY, QYEAR, QMONTH, and QDAY. The format of the field returned is CYYMMDD where C is the century, YY is the year, MM is the month, and DD is the day. A 0 for the century flag indicates years 19xx, and a 1 indicates years 20xx.
System date and time. QDATETIME is the date and time for the local system time as a single value. Retrieving this value is similar to retrieving QDATE and QTIME in a single operation. The format of the field returned is YYYYMMDDHHNNSSXXXXXX where YYYY is the year, MM is the month, DD is the day, HH is the hours, NN is the minutes, SS is the seconds, and XXXXXX is the microseconds.
System library list. QSYSLIBL is the system part of the library list. The list can contain as many as 15 names.
System model. QMODEL is the system model number. It is the number or letters used to identify the model of the system.
System time. QTIME is the system value for the time of day. QTIME is composed of the following system values: QHOUR, QMINUTE, and QSECOND. QTIME has the format HHMMSSXXX, where HH equals hours, MM equals minutes, SS equals seconds, and XXX equals milliseconds.
Thread resources adjustment. QTHDRSCADJ specifies whether or not the system should make adjustments to the affinity of threads currently running in the system. If some system resources are being utilized more than others, the system may reassign some of the threads running on the more heavily used resources to have affinity to the less used resources. The values allowed are:
| '0' | No automatic adjustment of threads is made by the system. Threads will continue to have affinity to the resources which they are currently assigned to until they end or until this system value is changed. |
| '1' | The system dynamically makes adjustments of threads' affinity to the system's resources. It does not change the grouping or level of affinity in the threads. |
Thread resources affinity. QTHDRSCAFN specifies whether or not secondary threads are grouped together with the initial thread. If they are grouped together, they will have affinity to, or a preference for, the same set of processors and memory, which may affect performance. The first 10 characters contain a special value indicating how the threads will be grouped. The values allowed are:
| *NOGROUP | Secondary threads are not grouped with the initial thread. They are spread across all the available system resources. |
| *GROUP | Secondary threads are grouped with the initial thread. |
The last 10 characters contain a special value that indicates to what degree the system tries to maintain the affinity of threads to the system resources that they are internally assigned to. The values allowed are:
| *NORMAL | A thread will use any processor or memory in the system if the resources it has affinity to are not readily available. |
| *HIGH | A thread will only use the resources it has affinity to, and will wait until they become available if necessary. |
Time adjustment. QTIMADJ can be used to identify software that adjusts the system clock to keep it synchronized with an external time source. This value should be maintained by time adjustment software and is intended as an aid to prevent having multiple time adjustment applications conflict with each other. There are no checks perfomed by the system to verify this value or that software is or is not performing time adjustments. IBM time adjustment offerings will use identifiers that start with QIBM such as 'QIBM_OS400_SNTP'. Other software suppliers should follow a similiar naming convention of company name and product name.
Time adjustment software should check QTIMADJ prior to starting. If QTIMADJ has an identifier for other time adjustment software, then the software being started should notify the user of this potential conflict and confirm that this time adjustment software should be started. When QTIMADJ is *NONE the software should update QTIMADJ to identify that it is now responsible for adjusting the system clock. Time adjustment software should check QTIMADJ again prior to ending. QTIMADJ should be set to *NONE only if the current value identifies this time adjustment software that is ending. The shipped value is *NONE. The allowed values are:
| *NONE | Indicates that time adjustment software has not been identified. |
| Identifier | Identify the software that will be used to adjust the system clock. |
Time separator. QTIMSEP is the character separator for time. QTIMSEP must be one of the following values: colon (:), period (.), comma (,), or blank.
Time-slice end pool. QTSEPOOL is the time-slice end pool. This value specifies whether interactive jobs should be moved to another main storage pool when they reach time-slice end. The values allowed are:
| *NONE | Jobs are not moved to the base storage pool when time-slice end is reached. |
| *BASE | Jobs are moved to the base pool when time-slice end is reached. |
Time zone. QTIMZON specifies the name of the time zone description used to calculate local system time.
Total jobs. QTOTJOB specifies the initial number of jobs for which auxiliary storage is allocated during IPL.
UPS delay time. The uninterruptible-power-supply (UPS) delay time specifies the amount of time that elapses before the system automatically powers down following a power failure. When a change in power activates the UPS, messages are sent to the UPS message queue (the system value QUPSMSGQ). This system value is meaningful only if your system has a battery power unit or has an uninterruptible power supply attached.
A change to this system value takes effect the next time there is a power failure. The shipped value is *CALC. The allowed values are:
| *BASIC | Powers only the PRC, IOP cards, and Load Source
direct-access storage device. The appropriate wait time, in seconds, is
calculated. (This should be used only if you have the battery power unit or an
uninterruptible power supply without every rack being connected.)
Note: All other values indicate that all racks have an uninterruptible power supply. |
| *CALC | Calculates the appropriate wait time. In a secondary partition, the calculated wait time, rather than *CALC, is returned. |
| *NOMAX | Starts no action. |
| 0 | Automatically powers down the system. |
| 1-99999 | Powers down the system after the specified number of seconds. |
The QUPSDLYTIM system value is in the form of a two-item list. The first item is the value the user specified on the CHGSYSVAL command. The second item is the delay time, which is either what the user specified, or, if *CALC or *BASIC is specified, the calculated delay time.
UPS message queue. The QUPSMSGQ system value is the message queue that is to receive uninterruptible-power-supply messages. QUPSMSGQ is a 20-character list of up to two values in which the first 10 characters contain the message queue name, and the last 10 characters contain the library name.
Use adopted authority. QUSEADPAUT specifies an authorization list that is used to control who can create, change, and update programs and service programs with the use adopted authority (USEADPAUT) attribute of *YES. The possible values are:
| *NONE | All users can create, change, and update programs and service programs that use adopted authority. |
| authorization list name | The name of an authorization list that a user must have at least *USE authority to in order to create, change, and update programs and service programs that use adopted authority. Authority to the authorization list cannot come from adopted authority. |
User library list. QUSRLIBL is the default for the user part of the library list. The list can contain as many as 25 names.
Verify object on restore. QVFYOBJRST is the system value for verify object on restore. This value is used to specify the policy to be used for object signature verification during a restore operation. This value applies to objects of types: *CMD, *PGM, *SRVPGM, *SQLPKG and *MODULE. It also applies to *STMF objects which contain Java programs. The possible values are:
| 1 | Do not verify signatures on restore. Restore all objects regardless of their signature. |
| 2 | Verify signatures on restore. Restore unsigned commands and user-state objects. Restore signed commands and user-state objects, even if the signatures are not valid. Restore inherit-state and system-state objects only if they have valid signatures. |
| 3 | Verify signatures on restore. Restore unsigned commands and user-state objects. Restore signed commands and user-state objects only if the signatures are valid. Restore inherit-state and system-state objects only if they have valid signatures. |
| 4 | Verify signatures on restore. Do not restore unsigned commands and user-state objects. Restore signed commands and user-state objects, even if the signatures are not valid. Restore inherit-state and system-state objects only if they have valid signatures. |
| 5 | Verify signatures on restore. Do not restore unsigned commands and user-state objects. Restore signed user-state objects only if the signatures are valid. Restore inherit-state and system-state objects only if they have valid signatures. |
Year. QYEAR is the system value that specifies the last 2 digits for the year. Its value can range from 0 through 99.
