Step #1: Forget the green screen commands for doing this.
Step #2: Think "system catalog" or syscat for short.
Step #3: Use the Knowledge Center.
For system catalog stuff look at https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_74/db2/rbafzcatalog.htm
For services stuff look at
Db2 for i Services
IBM i Services
SYSTOOLS
At https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_74/rzajq/rzajqkickoff.htm

"The SYSTABLES view contains one row for every table, view
or alias
in the SQL schema, including the tables and views of the SQL catalog."
