Question
Hi Expert

What is the command you type in to create shortcuts on AS/400 Commands ?  for example:

To create a shortcut for " WRKACTJOB " by just typing in " WAJ "

Or " WRKCFGSTS " and just typing in " WCS " ?

Regards

Answer
Monna -

You can use the 'create duplicate object command' CRTDUPOBJ and press F4 to prompt for parameters.  The from-object will be the name of the command you want to make a shortcut for, the from library can be *LIBL.  The object type is *CMD.  The to-object name will be your shortcut name, and the to-library name can be QUSRSYS - an IBM-supplied library for user-created objects.
