System value parameters

The character-based system value name corresponds to a system value field in iSeries Navigator and the character-based special parameter corresponds to a possible value in iSeries Navigator.

View the following table for a complete list of system values (using the character-based names) and their associated special parameters. The table provides a summary of information that you may need to work with the system value in the character-based interface. The types and lengths specified in this table apply to the CL commands. This differs from the Retrieve System Values (QWCRSVAL) API that uses binary types rather than decimal. For example, the Retrieve System Value (RTVSYSVAL) command expects decimal while the Retrieve System Values (QWCRSVAL) API returns binary. For more information about each system value and its special parameters, view each system value topic.

If you are familiar with the iSeries Navigator name (also referred to as a field on the iSeries Navigator interface) and cannot find the character-based system value name in the following table, use the system value finder to display a category of system values. Each category identifies the iSeries Navigator system value names and the character-based names.

The following table identifies all of the system values using their character-based names and the character-based special parameters (possible values) for each system value:

Notes: 1 In iSeries Navigator, this system value is grouped with other character-based system values. Therefore, the topic specific to this system value discusses all of the system values associated with it in iSeries Navigator. For example, QTIME is called Time of day in iSeries Navigator and it uses QTIME, QDATETIME, QHOUR, QMINUTE, and QSECOND. 2 The operating system no longer uses this system value. For a complete list of system values no longer used by the operating system, see Obsolete system values. 3 In iSeries Navigator, this is the Maximum system disk pool usage (0-100 percent) system value. In the character-based interface, this system value specifies the disk pool lower limit versus the maximum allowed. For more information, see the Retrieve System Values API.
