Specifies the qualified name of the FCT with which to work.

The possible library values are:

*LIBL: The library list for the job is used to locate the FCT.

Host Form Type (FORMTYPE)

If a generic name is specified, then all host form types with names that begin with that string, and for which you have authority, are shown. If an asterisk is not included, the system assumes the string to be the complete name of the host form type.
For more information on the use of generic functions, see the CL Reference.
