Good question

CREATE TABLE ROB/TESTSSD (MYCHAR CHAR (254 ))
INSERT INTO ROB/TESTSSD
SELECT 'TEST' FROM QSYS2/SYSCOLUMNS
2971150 rows inserted in TESTSSD in ROB.
CHGPF ROB/TESTSSD UNIT(*SSD)
File TESTSSD in library ROB changed.
Instant reply back. Either it backgrounds the task, or it gives up
because there is currently no SSD. I think it's the former. If it was
the latter it should reply back with a message.
Nothing in QSYSOPR, DSPLOG, WRKPRB, Product Activity Log. These entries
in the LIC log about 30 sec after commands:

Don't know if related.
DSPFD ROB/TESTSSD
Preferred storage unit . . . . . . . . . . : UNIT 255
DSPFD ROB/BERENDT
Preferred storage unit . . . . . . . . . . : UNIT *ANY
Gee, maybe since UNIT was deprecated it assigned a special value to *SSD
and that unit number is now hijacked? Let me decompile the command...
Yep, that's it. You enter *SSD and it converts that to 255.

Aha! A bug! DSPFD needs to be updated! I'll report that.
