User-Defined Option
User-defined options are the user-created shortcut command which can activate a specific function by typing that shortcut words against source member on the Work with Members Using PDM screen (WRKMBRPDM).
For Example Option C for calling a program, CC for changing the current library, SP for WRKSPLF, WS for WRKSBMJOB, RQ for RunQry, etc. Please note that the shortcut keyword which is mentioned in this blog is the one that is defined. There may be changes at your end the shortcut words for these commands may be different or you can define your own set of shortcut commands for a specific function.
Work with User-Defined options
- Type WRKMBRPDM on the command line and press ENTER, if you want you may specify the source physical file or library information to browse that using WRKMBRPDM
- Press SHIFT+F4 on the WRKMBRPDM screen
- We can take option 2 to change an option and its command,, option 5 to display, 3 to copy, and 4 to delete the shortcut option and command.
- For creating a new command we can press F6 to Create the User-defined option JL for the command DSPJOBLOG
- once the option JL gets created as can be seen below. You can use the thing option by writing JL on any source physical file member in any library instead of writing DSPJOBLOG on the command line.
