<h1 class="topictitle1">About control language (CL)</h1>
<div><p>This provides an overview of the control language (CL) topic.</p>
<p>The control language topic describes all control language (CL) commands
that are part of the base operating system, as well as commands that are optionally
installable parts of the base operating system. It also includes many commands
for related licensed program products that can be used on iSeries™ servers.</p>
<p>Before using CL commands, you should be familiar with the CL programming
concepts discussed in the control language topic. On occasion, you may need
to refer to other IBM<sup>®</sup> books or topics for more specific information about
a particular topic.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Who should use commands</h4><p>CL commands are typically
used by programmers, data processing managers, and system administrators.
Through i5/OS™ command
menus, powerful command prompter tools, and online command help, nontechnical
users can also use CL commands. To use commands, you should have a general
understanding of i5/OS.
If you want to combine several CL commands together to create a CL program,
some background in programming is helpful. </p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle"> How this information is organized </h4><p>In the CL command
finder, you can search for commands by product, by command name, by descriptive
name, or by part of the name. You also can search for new commands and changed
commands. You can also view an alphabetical list of all of the command documentation.</p>
