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.
