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).
Shape the future of IBM!
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Search existing ideas
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post your ideas
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

Sorry for the extra long delay in response. The external response was incorrectly filed as an internal only response two years ago. That response is follows:
There are no plans to extend DSPOBJAUT to work with all objects in a library. However, you can create a very simple CL program to generate the data you are looking for. Here is a link to an example program: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_73/rbam6/refof.htm. With this example, you can replace the GRTOBJAUT with the DSPOBJAUT command and write the data to an outfile. Also, you wouldn't need the &USER variable that is passed to this CL program. When you use the DSPOBJAUT, make sure you use the *ADD option on the OUTMBR parm. After running the program, you can easily look at the outfile with the RUNQRY *NONE QTEMP/DSPOBJAUT command (or use any DB interface to process the DSPOBJAUT outfile).
DSPOBJAUT OBJ(&ODLBNM/&ODOBNM) OBJTYPE(&ODOBTP) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(QTEMP/DSPOBJAUT) OUTMBR(*FIRST *ADD)
The very popular third party product TAATOOLS has a command that provides this function. The cost of the product is negligible. If you don't want to purchase this product this functionality can also be addressed by a very simple CL program that produces a list of objects (DSPOBJD) then performs a DSPOBJAUT over all of them into an outfile which can then be reviewed. IBM traditionally has maintained that they won't try to provide all elementary functions that can easily be performed by simply programming.
