Resolving The Problem
This document provides instructions for finding the source code for a modified Workstation Customizing Object (WSCST) or *WSCST object. To find the source physical file member containing the source code for a modified Workstation Customizing Object (WSCST), do the following:
1. | Use the Display Object Description (DSPOBJD) command to display the object description for a specific *WSCST object; for example: DSPOBJD OBJ(QGPL/HP4) OBJTYPE(*WSCST) or use the DSPOBJD command to work with several *WSCST object by specifying *ALL or a generic name for the Object (OBJ) parameter; for example: DSPOBJD OBJ(QGPL/*ALL) OBJTYPE(*WSCST) DSPOBJD OBJ(QGPL/HP*) OBJTYPE(*WSCST) |
2. | Select Option 8 (display service attributes) next to the *WSCST object and press the Enter key. |
3. | Look at the Source file, Library and Member fields that are shown on the first screen. |
4. | Use the Work with Members Using PDM (WRKMBRPDM) command to work with the source member used to create the *WSCST object; for example: WRKMBRPDM FILE(QGPL/QTXTSRC) MBR(HP4) or use the WRKMBRPDM command to work with all of the members in the source physical file, for example: WRKMBRPDM FILE(QGPL/QTXTSRC) MBR(*ALL) and then take Option 2 (Edit) on the source member that needs to be edited. |
o | If these steps are used to find the WSCST source for a system-supplied WSCST table, you will find that the Source file, Library, and Member fields are blank. To work with the source code for a system-supplied WSCST table, retrieve the WSCST source code using the Retrieve WSCST source (RTVWSCST) command. For more information on this, refer to the following Rochester Support Center knowledgebase document: N1010140: Instructions for Modifying a Workstation Customizing Object (WSCST) |
o | If the original WSCST source member specified by the Display Object Description (DSPOBJD) command has been deleted from the IBM i system, you will either need to restore the source physical file and member from backups, or will need to attempt to recreate your user-modified WSCST object from the beginning by re-retrieving the WSCST source code for a system-supplied WSCST object. This is because the Create WSCST (CRTWSCST) command does not store the WSCST source in the *WSCST object that is created, and because the Retrieve WSCST source (RTVWSCST) command only has an option to retrieve the WSCST source code for system-supplied *WSCST objects, not from user-modified *WSCST objects. |
