Creating and changing object lists

Use the Create Object List, Create Like Object List, or Object List Properties windows to build and manipulate object lists. An object list is a collection of predefined objects such as indexes or table spaces that can be referred to in order to run a utility on all of the objects in the object list using only a single command.

For example: To run the copy utility on an object list that contains five table spaces is equivalent to running the copy utility on each of the same five table spaces, one at a time. By running the copy utility on the object list you to accomplish the same work without having to run the utility five separate times.
