Three Essential AS/400 Tasks You Need To Know The operating system that runs on an AS/400, iSeries, i5 is known as OS/400 or i5/OS and it is command and menu driven. At its heart everything tends to be a command and even the menus that you see use commands behind the scenes. All of these commands are known as control language. AS400 commands tend to be three letter abbreviations of two or more words put together.

For example the word “work” is commonly used in several commands and is abbreviated as wrk. Printable output on an AS/400 is known as spool files and commands to work with those are abreviated as splf— ok so thats four letters but it is a rare exception. So if we put together Work and Spool Files we ge the command “wrksplf” Work with Spool Files and it allows you to maintain your printable output that is still residing on the system. And by the way commands are entered on the command line at the bottom of menus and denoted with the “===>” symbol.

To see a list of AS400 commands that have been catagorized into groups type in “go verb” on the command line. Plx Pci6152 Driver. As you will see there are *alot* of commands. Ultimately you will probably only ever use 20% of them, and realistically even for day to day system administration less than that. You can also prompt any command by typing it in and pressing the F4 key on the keyboard. This prompting will display more detail about the command and provide all of the available parameters that go along with it. Everything that runs on the AS400 is called a job.
