Side information (CSI)

Specifies the object name for the side information object you want to work with.

This is a required parameter.

The possible values are:

*ALL: All lists of side information objects are shown.
side-information-name: Specify the name and library of the list of side information objects to be shown.
generic*-side-information-name: Specify the generic name of side information objects to be shown. A generic name is a character string that contains one or more characters followed by an asterisk (*). All side information objects with same prefix as the generic side information object are shown.

The possible library values are:

*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 to locate the side information object. If no current library entry exists in the library list, QGPL is used.

*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.

library-name: Specify the library name where the side information object is located. Only the library named in this parameter is searched.

Examples

Example 1: Displaying Information Objects

WRKCSI

This command displays all the side information objects that exist in any library in the library list. From the Work with Communications Side Information panel, you can work with the side information objects.

Example 2: Displaying Objects the Begin with 'SIDE'

WRKCSI   CSI(QGPL/SIDE*)

This command displays all the side information objects that begin with the letters 'SIDE' and are located in library QGPL. From the Work with Communications Side Information panel, you can work with the side information objects.
