FIND Find Objects

FIND FIND OBJECT TAAOBJA
The FIND command is an ease of use front end for the WRKOBJ command. The normal use is as follows: FIND ABC The command places an * on the value entered (i.e. ABC*) and by default uses the current library if it exists or the first library on the users library list. It then requests all object types. This provides a display of all objects beginning with ABC in the user's normally preferred library. The WRKOBJ command executed would be: WRKOBJ OBJ(xxxx/ABC*) OBJTYPE(*ALL) This makes it easy to see what objects exist that begin with a generic name. The FIND command has two advantages over the use of the typical WRKOBJ command: ** Less keystrokes ** Faster response than an unqualified WRKOBJ command. The WRKOBJ command specified as: WRKOBJ OBJ(XXX*) OBJTYPE(*ALL) searches all of the libraries on the library list. The normal use of FIND is to search only a single library. To achieve the same speed, you must specify: WRKOBJ OBJ(YYYY/XXX*) OBJTYPE(*ALL) Command parameters *CMD ------------------ NAME The name you want to search for. If less than 10 characters are entered, a generic search will be used. You need not enter an '*' (the program will add it for you if it has not been specified). *ALL may also be entered. This would be useful when you are looking for all of a seldom used object type (e.g. message files) in a particular library. LIB The special value or library name that you want to search. The default is *DFT meaning the current library if it exists. If no current library exists, the first library on the user portion of the library list is searched. A specific library may be also entered. The special value *CUR requests only the current library. An * or *FIRST requests the first library on the user portion of the library list. *USRLIBL, *LIBL, *ALL, or *ALLUSR may also be entered. OBJTYPE The object type to be searched for. The default is *ALL. The same values may be used as can be specified on WRKOBJ. Restrictions ------------ None.
