OBJ parameter

The object (OBJ) parameter specifies the names of one or more objects affected by the command in which this parameter is used.

If the OBJ parameter identifies objects that must exist in an i5/OS™ library, all of the objects must be in one of the following, depending upon which command is used:

the library specified in the LIB parameter,
the SAVLIB parameter,
the library qualifier in the OBJ parameter,
or the library part of the path name in the OBJ parameter

On some commands, the generic name of a group of objects can be specified. To form a generic name, add an asterisk (*) after the last character in the common group of characters; for example, ABC*. If an * is not included with the name, the system assumes that the name is a complete object name.

Values allowed

Depending on the command, the following types of values can be specified on the OBJ parameter:

*ALL
Simple object name
Qualified object name
Generic object name
Qualified generic object name
Path name
