Changing the Options in System Request

It is possible to change some of the options shown in System Request. You cannot change the options as they appear on the panel, but you can change the commands that those options call.

Suppose you would prefer that SYS REQ, Option 3, perform a WRKJOB command rather than a DSPJOB command. Do the following:

1 On an operating system command line, type the following:
WRKMSGD CPX2313
Press the Enter key.
2 Type 2 under OPT, next to CPX2313. Press the Enter key.
3 You are on the CHGMSGD screen. The options performed by SYS REQ are shown on the First-level message text line; for example, you will see the following:
First-level message text . . . . 'ENDRQS DSPJOB DSPMSG SNDMSG SIGNOFF DSPMSG DSCJOB DSPWSUSR ENDRDBRQS '
SYS REQ, Option 1, does a TFRSECJOB command, which is not in the text. Therefore, you cannot change that. For the others, the commands performed by SYS REQ are as follows:

1. Display sign on for alternative job . . . . . TFRSECJOB
2. End previous request . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ENDRQS
3. Display current job. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . DSPJOB
4. Display messages . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . DSPMSG
5. Send a message . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . SNDMSG
6. Display system operator messages. . . . .DSPMSG QSYSOPR
7. Display work station user. . . . . . . . . . . DSPWSUSR
80. Disconnect job. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . DSCJOB
90. Sign off . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .SIGNOFF

If the command you want to change can be matched to a command in the First level message text line, you can change the command by substituting a different command. It must be in exactly the same position as the original command; for example, the W in WRKJOB must be in exactly the same place as the D in DSPJOB was.
