CL Command Reference - CHKDLO
CL Command List > CHKDLO Reference
Description:
The Check Document Library Object (CHKDLO) command verifies that an object exists and that a user has authority to the object before trying to access it.
These checks can be particularly useful before the user tries to access several objects simultaneously. The CHKDLO command is also used to check the validity of object names contained in CL variables and to verify object authorizations under program control.
When the command runs, the system searches for the specified object. If the object is found, the system verifies that the user is authorized to that object as specified on the CHKDLO command. If the object is not found or the user does not have the authority specified on the CHKDLO command, an escape message is sent to the user.
When the CHKDLO command is used in a CL program, the Monitor Message (MONMSG) command follows the CHKDLO command to monitor for messages that result from running this command.
Examples:
CHKDLO DLO(FLR1) OBJTYPE(*ANY) AUT(*NONE)
USERID(USER1 ADDR1)
This command checks for the existence of a folder named FLR1 on behalf of a user whose user ID is USER1 and whose address is ADDR1. The user¡¯s authority to FLR1 is not checked.
