Re(2): Re: CHGJOB from a CL pgm.

["Mike Naughton" <mnaughton@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Phil -

I think your problem is that you need a "?" in front of your command:

I       '?CHGJOB(' (etc.)

otherwise, you will only see the fields you have specified in your command.

Also, note that "??" in front of a parameter means that the user can
modify it.
"?*" means that the user will see it, but it will be read-only; "?-" means
that it will be invisible to the user.

(Thanks to Brian Meyers and Dan Riehl and their book "Control Language
Programming for the AS/400"
-- p. 302 -- for a clear explanation of how this works. . . .)
