Q: P-Group: How to find the P-group of an AS/400

Question:
I know InterForm400 is priced depending on the processor group of my AS/400. How can I find the P-group?

Answer:

On some AS/400 you can view the P-group if you issue the command:

WRKLICINF

Look in the top of the screen to find the Processor group.

On some AS/400 this will not be a valid P-group (P05-P50). If so proceed like below.


First you need the model, processor feature and in some cases the interactive feature. You can find that if you execute the command:

WRKHDWRSC TYPE(*PRC)

and then choose option '7=Display resource detail' in front of the main card enclosure (CEC01).

You will see a screen like below where processor features may be missing.

                          Display Resource Detail          
                                                           
Resource name  . . . . . . . :   CEC01                      
Text . . . . . . . . . . . . :   Main Card Enclosure        
Type-model . . . . . . . . . :   9406-720                  
Serial number  . . . . . . . :   xx-xxxxx                  
Part number  . . . . . . . . :                              
Processor feature code . . . :   206B                      
Processor feature  . . . . . :   2061                      
Interactive feature  . . . . :   1501                       


Now use this link to IBM to find the processor-group:

You simply select the Model, processor feature and interactive feature in this sequence and the P-group will be listed below.
