WRKOBJTXT       WORK OBJECT TEXT                       TAAOBLC

 The Work Object Text  command provides a simple means  of reviewing and
 cleaning up  text for objects.  A  subfile of one or more  objects in a
 library  is displayed and allows a direct  change to the text.  Various
 selection criteria  exists.   Options  exist  to display,  change,  and
 delete  the  objects  along  with  an  option  to  display  the  object
 description.

 *OBJMGT to the object is required to change the text description.

 A typical command would be:

             WRKOBJTXT    LIB(xxx)

 All  objects in  the library  would be displayed  and the  current text
 would appear which could be keyed over to change the value.

 When the display appears,  the objects are  in sequence by name  within
 the  actual object  type.    This differs  from  the  WRKOBJ or  DSPLIB
 displays  which arrange the  objects by  name within the  internal code
 for object  type.   The unique  approach for  WRKOBJTXT allows  you  to
 position to  a name within an  object type or  at the beginning  of the
 object type.

 Not all object  types are supported by a DSP  command or a CHG command.
 In some cases a WRK command is used if provided by the system.

 Command parameters                                    *CMD
 ------------------

    LIB           The  library containing  the objects  to be displayed.

    OBJ           The object to be  displayed.  The default is *ALL.   A
                  specific  object  name  or   a  generic  name  may  be
                  entered.

    OBJTYPE       The  object  type to  be  displayed.   The  default is
                  *ALL  for  all  object  types.    All  of  the  values
                  supported by DSPOBJD are provided.

    BLKTXT        A  *YES/*NO value  for whether  to  select only  those
                  objects that have a blank text value.

                  *NO is the default.

                  *YES  may be  specified to  select only  those objects
                  with a blank text description.

    SCAN          Whether to scan for a  string within the current  text
                  descriptions.    The default  is  *NONE,  meaning  the
                  existing text is not changed.

                  A  string of  up  to 20  bytes  may be  entered.   The
                  existing  text will be  folded to upper  case and then
                  scanned.
