CHGOBJD3 CHANGE OBJECT DESCRIPTION 3 TAAOBKA |
The Change Object Description 3 command provides an interactive
display to allow any object text to be changed. The user must be
authorized to change the object. The text is shown as a 50 byte
field with a ruler above. This makes it simpler to make changes such
as to a specific position in the User Profile Text description as
described in the PAGSEP tool.
You must have *ALL authority to an object to use CHGOBJD3.
A typical command would be:
CHGOBJD3 OBJ(xxx) OBJTYPE(*yyy)
An interactive display would appear and allow a change to the text
description.
Prompter support for changing text descriptions
-----------------------------------------------
Changing a text description at a specific position is not a simple
thing. When a command like CHGOBJD or CHGUSRPRF is used, the command
prompter does not provide all 50 positions if less than 50 exist (48
character positions are usually shown surrounded by single quotes.
You can expand the entry field using the & value, but no ruler
exists.
Trying to determine where a position like 35 or 41 is can be
difficult and is very error prone.
If WRKOBJ is used with option 13 (Change description), the command
prompter is used with the CHGOBJD command.
