The CRTPWL command in TURNOVER® for iSeries v100 is used to create a new Programmer Worklist (PWL), a personalized task container that tracks source members, objects, and change requests assigned to a developer. It’s the launchpad for managing your development workflow, from checkouts to promotions.
What CRTPWL Does
This command:
Creates a new worklist for a programmer
Assigns it to a specific application, project, and release
Sets the status, priority, and description
Prepares the worklist to receive items like source members, objects, or tasks
Integrates with TURNOVER’s promotion forms, audit trail, and task manager
It’s the command-line equivalent of using option 6=Create on the Work with Programmer Worklists panel.
Typical Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
PWLNAME | Name of the new worklist |
DESCRIPTION | Description of the worklist |
PROGRAMMER | User ID of the programmer assigned to the worklist |
APPLICATION | Application ID the worklist belongs to |
PROJECT | Optional project ID |

You can also define default type codes, library lists, and form templates depending on your setup.

Combine with ADDPWLITM, CHGPWL, and PROMOTE to build full lifecycle flows.
Great for scripting onboarding flows, modular tutorials, or team-based development in Thrive Apprentice.
