The Work with Binding Directory (WRKBNDDIR) command allows you to display and work with a list of binding directories.

Restrictions:

• Only the libraries to which you have use (*USE) authority are searched.
• Only the binding directories to which you have some authority are shown on the display.
• To perform operations on the binding directories, you must have *USE authority to the command and the appropriate authority to the binding directory on which the operation is performed.

Parameters

Keyword	Description	Choices	Notes
BNDDIR	Binding directory	Qualified object name	Required, Positional 1
	Qualifier 1: Binding directory	Generic name, name, *ALL
	Qualifier 2: Library	Name, *LIBL, *CURLIB, *USRLIBL, *ALLUSR, *ALL

Binding directory (BNDDIR)

Specifies the binding directory to work with.

This is a required parameter.

Qualifier 1: Binding directory

*ALL

Find all binding directories in the specified library or libraries.

generic-name

Specify the generic name of the binding directories. A generic name is a character string of one or more characters followed by an asterisk (*); for example, ABC*. If a generic name is specified, then all binding directory objects with names that begin with the generic name, and for which the user has authority, are shown. If an asterisk is not included with the generic (prefix) name, the system assumes it to be the complete object name.

name

Specify the name of the binding directory to work with.

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 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.

name

Specify the name of the library to be searched.

Examples

WRKBNDDIR   BNDDIR(HOLDER)

This command allows you to work with a binding directory named HOLDER.
