Most commonly used AS400 commands

 

Below is a list of generally-used AS/400 commands. On the AS/400, everything is referred to as object. Each object has a type; ie, library, file, outq, msgq, etc. The first hierarchy in the structure is the library. Then different objects; ie, message queues, output queues, files, source files, physical/logical files, and programs (which are created from a source member in a source file), are stored or placed in the library. Physical files or database files can contain individual members.

The first group are the Domino for AS/400 commands. These commands are used when working with servers.

Domino Commands

 CFGDOMSVR         Configure Domino Server

 ENDDOMSVR         End Domino Server     

 STRDOMSVR         Start Domino Server

Passthru is a command to execute if you need to signon to another AS/400 and Endpasthr will end the session. STROFC is the command to use to get to the AS/400 Office product. STRPDM will bringup The AS/400 Programming Development Manager (PDM) menu. PDM is an application which provides an interface to work with your libraries,  the source files (objects) in the library, and each member that exist in the source file.
