Converting a command to a Database File

Rrbond07 — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 20:20:56 +0000

I was wondering if someone can offer some code or a site that would show some code examples of what I am trying to do on my LPARs. I’ve created a DB file using command CVTWRKSBS so I could create an IBM query over it to see what subsystems are active on the LPAR. However, I want this done on all my LPARs then e-mail the listing to a group or an individual. Is there a way I can poll each LPAR in the network with the job getting submitted from one LPAR and executing that command to all LPARs, then create a single listing rather than separate listings on each LPAR? Also, does the CVT command exist for NETSTAT and WRKSBSJOB commands so I can do the same thing with the listing?

I want to dump the contents of the DSPFD command to file and then use FNDSTRPDM to find certain text strings

Qa400 — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 17:35:28 +0000

I am doing some testing with file attributes that I want to automate. I have been using the DSPFD command to print the attributes of the file. I would now like to automate that. I tried dumping the output of the command to an outfile and then using FNDSTRPDM to find out if the attribute was set correctly. The outfile is a database file so the fndstrpdm doesn’t really work for me as my output is in hex.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I might accomplish this?

Hi , Using i series utility you can download PF as Text Tab Delimited format in your PC.However when I do the same by CLP using CPYTOIMPF using FLDDLM as X’05′ or *tab , I get a text tab delimited file which is not completely same as the file downloaded using I series utility.
