Service program (SRVPGM)

Specifies the search process for service programs to be placed in the list. All service programs with names corresponding to the specified parameter value, and for which the user has authority, are shown.

This is a required parameter.

Qualifier 1: Service program

*ALL
All service programs in the libraries identified in the library qualifier are shown.
generic-name
Specify the generic name of the service programs to work with. A generic name is a character string of one or more characters followed by an asterisk (*); for example, ABC*. If a generic name is specified, then all service programs with names that begin with the generic name, and for which the user has authority, are shown. If an asterisk is not included with the generic (prefix) name, the system assumes it to be the complete service program name.
name
Specify the name of the service program to work with.

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.
*CURLIB
The current library for the job is searched. If no library is specified as the current library for the job, the QGPL library is used.
*USRLIBL
Only the libraries in the user portion of the job's library list are searched.
*ALL
All libraries in the system portion of the job's library list, 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.
