Work with System Value (WRKSYSVAL)

Where allowed to run: All environments (*ALL)
Threadsafe: No

The Work with System Value (WRKSYSVAL) command allows you to work with a specified system value. The system values are provided as part of the system. They are used by the system to control certain operations in the operating system and to communicate the status of certain conditions.

Changes to some system values take effect immediately; however, some do not take effect until new jobs are started, and others do not take effect until the next initial program load (IPL). More information about system values is in the Work management topic collection in the IBM i Information Center at http://www.ibm.com/systems/i/infocenter/.

Note: Refer to the CL variable for returned value (RTNVAR) parameter of the Retrieve System Value (RTVSYSVAL) command for a chart that shows the type and length of each system value.

Restrictions:

Refer to the Change System Value (CHGSYSVAL) command for information regarding the authority required to change certain system values.

System value (SYSVAL)

Specifies the name of the system value with which you wish to work. Most of the system values can be specified; however, some values cannot be changed by this command. More information on which values can be specified is in the Work management topic collection in the IBM i Information Center at http://www.ibm.com/systems/i/infocenter/.

*ALL: All system values.
*ALC: Allocation system values.
*DATTIM: Date and time system values.
*EDT: Editing system values.
*LIBL: Library list system values.
*MSG: Message and logging system values.
*SEC: Security system values.
*STG: Storage system values.
*SYSCTL: System control system values.
generic-name: Specify the generic name for the system values to work with. A generic name is a character string of one or more characters followed by an asterisk (*); for example, QAU*. If a generic name is specified, then all entries with names that begin with the generic name will be shown on the WRKSYSVAL panel.
name: Specify the name of the system value to work with.
