Error messages

The Work with System Value (WRKSYSVAL) command allows you to work with a specified system value. The system values are provided as part of the system. They are used by the system to control certain operations in the operating system and to communicate the status of certain conditions.

Changes to some system values take effect immediately; however, some do not take effect until new jobs are started, and others do not take effect until the next initial program load (IPL). More information about system values is in the Work Management information in the iSeries Information Center at http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/infocenter.

Refer to the CL variable for returned value (RTNVAR) parameter of the Retrieve System Value (RTVSYSVAL) command for a chart that shows the type and length of each system value.

Restrictions:

  1. Refer to the Change System Value (CHGSYSVAL) command for information regarding the authority required to change certain system values.
