Character-based types versus iSeries Navigator categories

The system values are divided into categories in iSeries™ Navigator. These categories are different from the categories in the character-based interface.

In the character-based interface, each system value is grouped by the type parameter. However, the type parameters do not correspond directly to the categories used in iSeries Navigator.

To view a list of the iSeries Navigator categories and the system values associated with each category, see System value categories.

In the character-based interface the system values are grouped into categories by type. The following is a list of the groups used in the character-based interface:

*ALC - Allocation system values.
*DATTIM - Date and time system values.
*EDT - Editing system values.
*LIBL - Library list system values.
*MSG - Message and logging system values.
*SEC - Security system values.
*STG - Storage system values.
*SYSCTL - System control system values.

For example, the Auditing level (QAUDLVL) system value is in the Auditing category in iSeries Navigator. However, in the character-based interface the system value's type parameter specifies *SEC (security), so it is grouped with the security-related system values.
