9/09/08 Display contents of a command string

When you use an i5/OS command that is an IBM command, if you want to see what your command string is going to look like when it is executed, press F14 from the command line. The Display Command String screen will appear and show you all of the parms that you have changed. The screen will look something like this:

Display Command String


CPYF FROMFILE(HALA0A/EPIC)

TOFILE(QTEMP/EPIC)

CRTFILE(*YES)


This command is especially handy with longer commands. It is also useful if you need to cut and paste a command to another system.
