Displays the contents of a table and enables a predefined set of commands that are unique to the table to operate on the display. (E)

A string specifying the table name (and parameters, if any). Selection and ordering can also be specified. If used:
• OBJECTMGR is the version of this tool called from within a rule, a version that does not trap exceptions. To trap exceptions, use OBJECT_MGMT.
• If you do not supply a value for tablespec, executing OBJECT_MGMT displays a screen prompting for a value.
• After executing OBJECT_MGMT, the specified table appears. This table is usually a subview of a master object table.
• Further selecting and ordering can be specified through primary commands, selecting and ordering that is done only on the subset specified in tablespec.
• OBJECT_MGMT (and its interactive version OBJECTMGR) uses DEFINE_OBJLIST when it is invoked. DEFINE_OBJLIST defines the appearance of the display and the commands to be used, and arranges up to two lines of titling. This is applied against the table given as an argument to OBJECT_MGMT.
• OBJECT_MGMT should run in BROWSE mode so that the commands can update the objects selected.
• The object commands operate on the primary key. The primary key field cannot be a composite primary key field.
This example uses both the table and the information presented during the description of the fields of the DEFINE_OBJLIST tool. Executing OBJECT_MGMT against the table EMPLOYEES_0DPARM displays the following screen. Refer to DEFINE_OBJLIST to see how this table is formatted:
