Work with Service Program (WRKSRVPGM)

Where allowed to run: Interactive environments (*INTERACT *IPGM *IREXX *EXEC)
Threadsafe: No

The Work with Service Program (WRKSRVPGM) command allows you to display and work with a list of service programs from one or more libraries.

Restrictions:

Only the libraries to which you have use (*USE) authority are searched.
Only the service programs to which you have some authority are shown on the display.
To perform operations on the service programs, you must have *USE authority to the command used by the operation and the appropriate authority to the service programs on which the operation is to be performed.

Service program (SRVPGM)

Specifies the search process for service programs to be placed in the list. All service programs with names corresponding to the specified parameter value, and for which the user has authority, are shown.

This is a required parameter.

Qualifier 1: Service program

*ALL: All service programs in the libraries identified in the library qualifier are shown.
generic-name: Specify the generic name of the service programs to work with. A generic name is a character string of one or more characters followed by an asterisk (*); for example, ABC*. If a generic name is specified, then all service programs with names that begin with the generic name, and for which the user has authority, are shown. If an asterisk is not included with the generic (prefix) name, the system assumes it to be the complete service program name.
name: Specify the name of the service program to work with.

Qualifier 2: Library

*LIBL: All libraries in the library list for the current thread are searched. All objects in these libraries with the specified object name are shown.

*CURLIB: The current library for the job is searched. If no library is specified as the current library for the job, the QGPL library is used.
*USRLIBL: Only the libraries in the user portion of the job's library list are searched.
*ALL: All libraries in the system portion of the job's library list, including QSYS, are searched.

*ALLUSR

All user libraries are searched. All libraries with names that do not begin with the letter Q are searched except for the following:

#CGULIB     #DSULIB     #SEULIB
#COBLIB     #RPGLIB
#DFULIB     #SDALIB

Although the following Qxxx libraries are provided by IBM, they typically contain user data that changes frequently. Therefore, these libraries are considered user libraries and are also searched:

QDSNX       QRCLxxxxx   QUSRDIRDB   QUSRVI
QGPL        QSRVAGT     QUSRIJS     QUSRVxRxMx
QGPL38      QSYS2       QUSRINFSKR
QMGTC       QSYS2xxxxx  QUSRNOTES
QMGTC2      QS36F       QUSROND
QMPGDATA    QUSER38     QUSRPOSGS
QMQMDATA    QUSRADSM    QUSRPOSSA
QMQMPROC    QUSRBRM     QUSRPYMSVR
QPFRDATA    QUSRDIRCF   QUSRRDARS
QRCL        QUSRDIRCL   QUSRSYS

'xxxxx' is the number of a primary auxiliary storage pool (ASP).
A different library name, in the format QUSRVxRxMx, can be created by the user for each previous release supported by IBM to contain any user commands to be compiled in a CL program for the previous release. For the QUSRVxRxMx user library, VxRxMx is the version, release, and modification level of a previous release that IBM continues to support.

name: Specify the name of the library to be searched.
