DSPOBJ          DISPLAY OBJECT                         TAAOBLD

The Display  Object command provides  various DSPxxx commands  for most
object types.   While the command is intended for  use as a menu option
where  the object and object type are already  known, it may be used as
a general  purpose DSPxxx  command.   In  some cases  WRK commands  are
used  when no corresponding  DSP command  exists.   Either a  system or
TAA command is used.

Because  a CHG prompt will appear for  the specified object, CHGOBJ may
only be used in an interactive environment.

A typical command would be:

            DSPOBJ    OBJ(ABC) OBJTYPE(*PGM)

The ABC *PGM object would be displayed.

Some object types such  as *PRDLOD have no DSP  or WRK commands and  an
escape message will be issued.

Some  DSP  or   WRK  commands  can  only  be  run   in  an  interactive
environment.

DSPOBJ escape messages you can monitor for
------------------------------------------

      TAA9891    The object type does not have a DSP or WRK command.

Escape messages from based on functions will be re-sent.

Command parameters                                    *CMD
------------------

   OBJ           The  qualified  name of  the object  to  be displayed.
                 The library value  defaults to *LIBL.   *USRLIBL  annd
                 *CURLIB may also be specified.

   OBJTYPE       All  object   types  supported   by  DSPOBJD  may   be
                 specified.   See the command prompt  for the supported
                 types.    If  no  corresponding  DSP  or  WRK  command
                 exists, an escape message is sent.

   OUTPUT        How to  output the results.   *  is the default  which
                 is passed  thru to the appropriate DSP  or WRK command
                 if  it   supports  an  OUTPUT  parameter.    Either  a
                 display or spooled  file is displayed.   If a  spooled
                 file  is  displayed,   it  is  deleted  after   it  is
                 displayed.

                 If  the  command  is entered  in  batch  or *PRINT  is
                 specified, the spooled  file is  output and  retained.

                 If  the  appropriate  DSP  or  WRK  command  does  not
                 support an OUTPUT parameter, the value is ignored.

Restrictions
------------

  **   Some object  types such as  *PRDLOD have no DSP  or WRK commands
       and an escape message will be issued.

  **   Some  DSP  or WRK  commands can  only be  run in  an interactive
       environment.

  **   If the  appropriate  DSP  or WRK  command  does not  support  an
       OUTPUT parameter, the value is ignored.
