The Work With Page Definitions (WRKPAGDFN) command displays a list of page definitions. From the display, you can create or delete a page definition, display the name and attributes of a page definition, or change the description of a page definition.

Parameters

Keyword	Description	Choices	Notes
PAGDFN	Page definition	Qualified object name	Optional, Positional 1
	Qualifier 1: Page definition	Generic name, name, *ALL
	Qualifier 2: Library	Name, *LIBL, *CURLIB, *USRLIBL, *ALLUSR, *ALL

Page definition (PAGDFN)

Specifies the page definition to be listed on the Work with Page Definitions display. Only those page definitions for which you have *READ authority are shown.

This is a required parameter.

Qualifier 1: Page definition

*ALL

All page definitions are listed.

generic-name

Specify the generic name of the page definitions to be listed. A generic name is a character string that contains one or more characters followed by an asterisk (*).

name

Specify the name of the page definition. If *LIBL or *USRLIBL is specified as the library name, only the first page definition found with the specified name is listed.

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.

*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.

*CURLIB

Only the current library is searched. If no current library entry exists in the library list, QGPL is used.

*ALL

All libraries in the system, 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

WRKPAGDFN   PAGDFN(*CURLIB/P1DFLT)

This command searches the current library for the page definition P1DFLT. If P1DFLT does not exist, the Work with Page Definitions display shows a message indicating that an object matching the specified name cannot be found.

Error messages

None
