IBM Power Ideas Portal


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).

Add IBM i service and/or API to command help

I am modifying the following RFE
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=102445
so as to be clear that I am not asking for output file support to be added to certain commands. I am only asking that the documentation for certain commands be modified to suggest an IBM i Service and/or an API. I am asking that the online help for that command be modified and also the Knowledge Center with the highest priority being the online help.


Use Case:

I prompt WRKACTJOB. Perhaps right before: "Error messages for WRKACTJOB" I would see a section like:

See also ACTIVE_JOB_INFO at https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_73/rzajq/rzajqudfactivejobinfo.htm
For APIs see also
List Job (QUSLJOB) lists some or all jobs on the system.
Open List of Jobs (QGYOLJOB) generates a list of jobs on the system.
