Answer Wiki:
Hi, You can use the DSPCMD command to see where the source for a command was when the command was created. Most of the System commands do not come supplied with the source. Regards, Martin Gilbert. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- If the source is not on your system you can get a XML definition of the command which should be sufficient to understand how the parameters are defined. This XML view of the command can be accessed with either the <a href="http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/apis/qcdrcmdd.htm">Retrieve Command Definition API QCDRCMDD</a> or the <a href="http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/cl/gencmddoc.htm">Generate Command Documentation command GENCMDDOC</a> with GENOPT(*SERVICE).

Make a G**gle search for RTVCMDSRC – you will find there is more than one version of that utility around. I use it myself, and it creates a perfect QCMDSRC member for even the most complex IBM-supplied commands.

If you are interested in writing commands, it’s particularly instructive to get IBM command sources and see how they do things.
