Add Command Line access to WRKIMGCLG display

Add Command Line access to WRKIMGCLG display.


Use Case:

It would save always getting out of WRKIMGCLG to execute the next command, then coming back in to assure it was completed - save a lot of back-and-forth time.

    IBM recognizes that adding a command line interface to WRKIMGCLG can provide value and save time for our users. As such, we have decided to change the status to ???Uncommitted Candidate" to put it on our team's active list of enhancements to consider for future plans.

    The CEAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a “nice to have” LOW priority feature.

    Background: The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a crucial role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    To find out how CEAC help to shape the future of IBM i, see CEAC @ ibm.biz/BdYSYj and the article "The Five Hottest IBM i RFEs Of The Quarter" at ibm.biz/BdYSZT

    IBM has received the requirement and is evaluating it. IBM will provide a response after evaluation is complete.

    Hello,

    Is it an option to add the atnpgm QUSCMDLN in your userprofile? (CHGUSRPRF ATNPGM(QUSCMDLN). This as a current work around for the time before this RFE is delivered.

    When doing that, this will bring up a command line window when you press that attention key, where you can execute a command, without leaving the WRKIMGCLG display.

    The good thing is that this does not kick of a group job so it also works when you are in restricted state.

    I am not realy sure what you are requesting, there are already a lot of IMGCLG commands:

    WRKIMGCLGE
    ADDIMGCLGE
    RMVIMGCLGE
    CRTIMGCLG
    CHGIMGCLG
    VFYIMGCLG
    LODIMGCLG
    WRKIMGCLG

    There is also the QVOIFIMG API

    Is there a specific function you can not accomplish with these commands?
