basic operational functions to run an AS/400 computer system. The guide supports the IBM documentation shipped with the computer. Where information may conflict with the IBM documentation, this document will defer to the authority of the IBM documentation. Users of the guide include individuals responsible for the day-to-day operations of the system. The document covers the basics of: Screen layouts Starting and stopping the system Daily operational tasks such as working with jobs and spooled files Printer, display and tape management Communications System backups DMS Systems Corp. 1 October 13, 2003 Version 1.0 AS/400 User Guide General Concepts Computer Basics Computers, while different, have three main operations in common: The order in which these operations take place is controlled by a set of instructions called a program or application. When you request a task to be accomplished by the computer, the set of instructions is given to the computer by the program or application. The most important program which controls the basic functions of the computer System is the Operating System. The AS/400 Operating System is called OS/400. In addition to controlling all devices connected to the computer, the Operating System controls the numerous requests made by all connected users. The Operating System programs allocate time and use of various requests and jobs being performed. The Operating System allows the computer to: Run more than one program at a time Handle printed output Schedule work Communicate with users The fourth operation that a computer System performs is Storage of information. A computer System is simply a few components (input devices, processor, output devices, and storage devices) being controlled by an Operating System. 2 DMS Systems Corp. October 13, 2003 Version 1.0 AS/400 User Guide AS/400 Operating System The OS/400 Operating System provides the tools you will use to run the AS/400 hardware System. It allows you to run multiple jobs regardless of any other programs running at the same time. The major functions of the OS/400 program are: Control Language is the set of commands used to talk with the computer. Data Management allows the user to define and use data files. Work Management controls many jobs, including jobs run by a single user and jobs run by other users. Programmer Services provide support for online program development and testing. System Operator Services provide a menu for easy access to frequently used operator functions. Communication Support allow AS/400 System to communicate with other types of systems as well as other AS/400 Systems. Security protects the data. PC Support allows personal computers to be attached to AS/400 as programmable workstations.

October 13, 2003 Version 1.0 AS/400 User Guide Initial Screen Entry A cursor will be positioned at the beginning of a field for input on the display screen. This is normally the first field where data is entered. Data typed on the keyboard is entered in the field where the cursor is located. Positioning Cursor Use mouse to position cursor and press left mouse button. Pressing arrow keys positions cursor left, right, up or down. Pressing backspace key moves cursor left one space and erases data. Use when cursor is immediately following the data to be corrected. Pressing tab key moves cursor to next enterable field.
