If you want a full lists of commands on the AS400 there are a few ways of doing it without having to read any books!!
1) issue command GO MAJOR
This will give you all the commands that you need Broken down into relevant functionality .
2) You could also finds commands by doing a
Ccommands . ie all as400 save commands start with SAV
Similarly all restore commands start with RST
DSPOBJD OBJ(QSYS/RST*) OBJTYPE(*CMD)
you get the picture ..
Also remember that all commands can be prompted
Most commands that you will need are in Library QSYS .
Hope this helps you

The easiest and the one that is on the AS/400 is from command Line do a CMD 4. From that menu it will show every command on the AS/400 through different options. Pick a command then do a F1 and F2 and it will show you a description of the Command.
Another helpful link to commands because you can search by desciptive name:

Hi
On any command line, type in WRKCMD then hit <F4>
You will get another window, type in *ALL & press <enter>
This will display all the commands starting at 'A'
Roll Down to go thru the list. Put a '9' beside one that you'd like and hit <F1> and then <F2>, this will explain what the command is all about.
A cardinal rule from IBM: WRK??? is all work commands,
DSP??? is display commands, STR??? is start, etc
If you remember this rule, then using the WRKCMD trick above can narrow down your search!
