- Method Detail
  - addLibraryAuthorityCriteria
```
public void addLibraryAuthorityCriteria(java.lang.String authority)

    Parameters:
    authority - The authority to search. Valid values are:
    
    AUTH_ALL - All authority. This consists of all 5 object authorities and all 5 data authorities.
    AUTH_CHANGE - Change authority. This consists of all 5 data authorities and object operational authority.

    clearLibraryAuthorityCriteria()
  - addObjectAttributeToRetrieve
```
public void addObjectAttributeToRetrieve(int attribute)
```
    Adds an object attribute to retrieve when this list is built. The attribute is cached as part of the ObjectDescription objects that are returned by this list, so that another call to the system is not necessary. Adding attributes to retrieve may increase list build time on the system, as well as increasing the amount of storage used to hold the list on the system.
    The object NAME, LIBRARY, and TYPE are always retrieved. By default, these are the only attributes that are retrieved. If no other attributes are added, the statuses of the objects (returned by ObjectDescription.getStatus()) are unknown. Any attributes that are not retrieved via this interface will require another call to the system to retrieve them when ObjectDescription.getValue() is called. The exceptions to this are the various attributes that represent Date objects, as they need to be converted from system timestamp format, which always requires another call to the system.
    
    Parameters:
    attribute - The attribute to retrieve. Valid values include any of the attributes on the ObjectDescription class.
    See Also:
    clearObjectAttributesToRetrieve()
  - addObjectAttributeToSortOn
```
public void addObjectAttributeToSortOn(int attribute,
                              boolean sortOrder)
```
    Adds an object attribute used to sort the list. The attribute is automatically added as an attribute to retrieve.
    The list of object attributes to sort on is maintained internally even when this ObjectList is closed and re-used. To start over with a new set of object attributes to sort on, call clearObjectAttributesToSortOn().
    Parameters:
    attribute - The object attribute on which to sort. Possible values are all object attributes contained in the ObjectDescription class, excluding the following:
    
    ObjectDescription.LIBRARY
    ObjectDescription.NAME
    ObjectDescription.TYPE
    sortOrder - true to sort ascending; false to sort descending.

  - addObjectAuthorityCriteria
```
public void addObjectAuthorityCriteria(java.lang.String authority)
```
    Adds an object authority as part of the selection criteria for generating the list of objects. Objects for which the user has the specified authorities are searched. If no object authority criteria are added, the default is AUTH_ANY. A maximum of 11 authorities can be added.
    Parameters:
    authority - The authority to search. Valid values are:
    
    AUTH_ALL - All authority. This consists of all 5 object authorities and all 5 data authorities.
    AUTH_CHANGE - Change authority. This consists of all 5 data authorities and object operational authority.
    AUTH_USE - Use authority. This consists of the read and execute data authorities and object operational authority.
    AUTH_LIST_MANAGEMENT - Authorization list management authority. This value is valid only for objects whose type is *AUTL. It is ignored for all other object types.
    AUTH_OBJECT_OPERATIONAL - Object operational authority.
    AUTH_OBJECT_MANAGEMENT - Object management authority.
    AUTH_OBJECT_EXISTENCE - Object existence authority.
    AUTH_OBJECT_ALTER - Alter authority.
    AUTH_OBJECT_REFERENCE - Reference authority.
    AUTH_DATA_READ - Read authority.
    AUTH_DATA_ADD - Add authority.
    AUTH_DATA_UPDATE - Update authority.
    AUTH_DATA_DELETE - Delete authority.
    AUTH_DATA_EXECUTE - Execute authority.
    AUTH_ANY - Any authority other than *EXCLUDE. If this value is specified, no other values can be specified.
    See Also:
    clearObjectAuthorityCriteria()
  - addObjectSelectionCriteria
```
public void addObjectSelectionCriteria(byte status)
```
    Adds an object attribute used to filter the list. If no statuses are added as selection criteria, the default is to include objects with STATUS_ANY. A maximum of 5 statuses can be added.
    Parameters:
    status - The object information status criteria. Possible values include:
    
    ObjectDescription.STATUS_NO_AUTHORITY - Objects that do not meet the authorities specified in the object authority criteria for this user. See addObjectAuthorityCriteria.
    ObjectDescription.STATUS_DAMAGED - Objects that are damaged.
    ObjectDescription.STATUS_LOCKED - Objects that are locked.
    ObjectDescription.STATUS_PARTIALLY_DAMAGED - Objects that are partially damaged.

```
    Returns a subset of the list of objects. This method allows the user to retrieve the object list from the system in pieces. If a call to load() is made (either implicitly or explicitly), then the objects at a given list offset will change, so a subsequent call to getObjects() with the same listOffset and number will most likely not return the same ObjectDescriptions as the previous call.
    
    Parameters:
    listOffset - The offset in the list of objects (0-based). This value must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than the list length; or specify -1 to retrieve all of the objects.
    number - The number of objects to retrieve out of the list, starting at the specified listOffset. This value must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to the list length. If the listOffset is -1, this parameter is ignored.
    
    Returns:
    The array of retrieved ObjectDescription objects. The length of this array may not necessarily be equal to number, depending upon the size of the list on the system, and the specified listOffset.
    
    Throws:
    
    AS400Exception - If the system returns an error message.
    
    AS400SecurityException - If a security or authority error occurs.
    
    ErrorCompletingRequestException - If an error occurs before the request is completed.
    
    java.lang.InterruptedException - If this thread is interrupted.
    
    java.io.IOException - If an error occurs while communicating with the system.
    
    ObjectDoesNotExistException - If the object does not exist on the system.

    Returns the system.
    
    Returns:

  - getType
```
public java.lang.String getType()
```
    Returns the object type used to filter this list. (For example: *LIB, *FILE, *OUTQ, etc)

```
    Loads the list of objects on the system. This method informs the system to build a list of objects. This method blocks until the system returns the total number of objects it has compiled. A subsequent call to getObjects() will retrieve the actual object information and attributes for each object in the list from the system.
    This method updates the list length.
    
    Throws:
    
    AS400Exception - If the system returns an error message.
    
    AS400SecurityException - If a security or authority error occurs.
    
    ConnectionDroppedException - If the connection is dropped unexpectedly.
    
    ErrorCompletingRequestException - If an error occurs before the request is completed.
    
    java.lang.InterruptedException - If this thread is interrupted.
    
    java.io.IOException - If an error occurs while communicating with the system.
    
    ObjectDoesNotExistException - If the object does not exist on the system.
    
    ServerStartupException - If the host server cannot be started.

```
public void setAspSearchType(java.lang.String aspSearchType)
                      throws ExtendedIllegalArgumentException
```
    Specifies the type of the search when a specific auxiliary storage pool device name is specified for the ASP device name.
    Parameters:
    aspSearchType - The type of search to be used. One of the following values may be specified:
    
    ASP_SEARCH_TYPE_ASP - Only the single ASP named will be searched.
    
    ASP_SEARCH_TYPE_ASPGRP - All ASPs in the auxiliary storage pool group named will be searched.
    
    The default value is ASP_SEARCH_TYPE_ASP.
    Throws:
    
    ExtendedIllegalArgumentException - if an invalid search type is specified.
  - setObjectSelection
```
public void setObjectSelection(boolean select)
```
    Sets whether or not the object selection criteria are used to include objects in the list or to omit them from the list. The default is true, which is to include objects in the list with the specified criteria as added by addObjectSelectionCriteria().
    
    Parameters:
    select - true to include objects in the list that have the specified statuses, false to omit objects from the list that have the specified statuses.

protected void finalize()

    Closes the list on the system when this object is garbage collected.
