<h1 class="topictitle1">TEXT parameter</h1>
<div><p>The TEXT parameter specifies the user-defined description that
briefly describes the object being created or changed.</p>
<div class="section"><p>The description can include up to 50 characters; if it is a quoted
string (that is, enclosed in apostrophes), any of the 256 EBCDIC characters
can be used. The apostrophes are not required if the string does not contain
any blanks or other special characters. Any of the 50 character positions
not filled by the specified description are padded with blanks.</p>
<p>The
description is used to describe any of the i5/OS™ objects when the named object is
shown on the display by the <span class="cmdname">Display Object Description (DSPOBJD)</span> command.
Only objects for which object operational authority has been obtained can
be displayed by a user.</p>
<p>For commands that use a database source file
to create some type of object, you can (by default) use the text from the
source file member as the text for the newly-created object. For example,
if you use the <span class="cmdname">Create Control Language Program (CRTCLPGM)</span> command
to create a CL program, but you do not specify a description in the TEXT parameter,
the text specified for the source file member (SRCMBR parameter) of the source
file (SRCFILE parameter) is assumed as the descriptive text for the CL program.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Values allowed</h4><p>Depending upon the command, one or
more of the following values apply to the TEXT parameter.</p>
<dl><dt class="dlterm">*SRCMBRTXT</dt>
<dd>For commands that create objects based on database source files only,
the text is taken from the source member. If a device or an inline file is
used for source input or if source is not used, the text is left blank.</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">*BLANK</dt>
<dd>The user description of the object being created or changed is left blank.</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">*SAME</dt>
<dd>The user-defined description does not change.</dd>
<dt class="dlterm"><var class="varname">'description'</var></dt>
<dd>Specify the description of the object being created or changed. Up to
50 characters enclosed in apostrophes (required for blanks and other special
characters) can be specified to describe the object. If an apostrophe is one
of the 50 characters, two apostrophes ('') must be used instead of one to
represent the apostrophe character.</dd>
