The Print  Blank Object Text  command prints one  line per object  in a
library  or libraries  where  a blank  text description  exists.   This
provides  a convenient review of where  programmers are not including a
text description.

You  must  have *ALLOBJ  special  authority  to  use  a  LIB  value  of
*ALLUSR.

A typical command would be:

            PRTBLKOBJT   LIB(xxx*)

A  listing would  be produced  with one  line for  every object  in the
library  that does not have a text  description.  The library object is
also considered.

Omitting the TAATOOL library
----------------------------

If you  use  LIB(*ALLUSR)  or have  TAATOOL  on the  library  list  and
specify LIB(*USRLIBL),  you will process all  TAA objects.   You should
not  find any objects without  text descriptions in  TAATOOL.  However,
it takes time to  run thru the  library.  You can  omit the library  by
specifying:

         CHKOBJSRC     LIB(*xxx) OMITLIB(TAATOOL)

OMITLIB Data Area in TAASECURE
------------------------------

The  OMITLIB data  area  in  TAASECURE is  used  in a  prompt  override
program  to  fill  in   the  OMITLIB  parameter.    The  data  area  is
initialized  to  TAATOOL  when  the TAA  Productivity  Tools  are first
shipped.

You  may  add  other  libraries  that  you  want   to  bypass  in  your
installation.  For  example, if you have other  products on your system
that should not be included, you could add them to the list.

An *ALLOBJ special authority user could enter the command:

             EDTCONARR     DTAARA(TAASECURE/OMITLIB)

The list of libraries can then be maintained.

PRTBLKOBJT escape messages you can monitor for
----------------------------------------------

None.  Escape messages from based on functions will be re-sent.

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

   LIB           The  library to  be  considered.   Up to  40 libraries
                 may be entered including  generic library names.   The
                 special   values  *ALLUSR   and   *USRLIBL  are   also
                 supported.   You  must have  *ALLOBJ authority  to use
                 *ALLUSR.

   TYPE          The type of libraries  to be processed.   *ALL is  the
                 default.   Either  *PROD or  *TEST may  be entered  to
                 process  only   those  libraries  with  the  specified
                 attribute   (the  TYPE   parameter  is   specified  on
                 CRTLIB).

   FROMDATE      The  From Date  in  a  range  of dates  to  check  the
                 object  create  date.    If  the  object  was  created
                 within  the range of dates and  has blank text it will
                 be listed.   The default  is *BEGIN  for the  earliest
                 create date.   A specific date  may be entered  in job
                 format.

   TODATE        The  To Date in a  range of dates to  check the object
                 create date.   If the  object was  created within  the
                 range of dates and  has blank text it will  be listed.
                 The default  is *TODAY for the todays  create date.  A
                 specific date may be entered in job format.

   OMITLIB       A  list  of up  to 45  libraries to  be omitted.   The
                 default is  *NONE.  A  prompt override program  exists
                 so that  the OMITLIB data  area in TAASECURE  is used.
                 See  the previous discussion for how  to use this data
                 area.

                 If you are processing  *ALLUSR or *USRLIBL, you  would
                 normally want to omit the TAATOOL library.
