Any chance IBM would accept a DCR to do away with that system value?


Since there is a choice in values, then there must be some reason why "anything other than 1" may be acceptable. Easy enough to ignore the implication by someone that another choice is evil.?

Perhaps there was no seriousness in asking about a DCR, but since there was no winking emoticon...

<sarcasm> Every system is used in the identical manner by all, so there is certainly no need for that system value irrespective of the chosen value </sarcasm>

While some system configurations will see no value for QLMTDEVSSN=1, others may find value in that setting. There is IMO no good reason to waste the time of somebody [or worse, more than one person] at IBM with such a request to eliminate a feature which may be validly applied at some installations; i.e. where removal of the feature would be a loss of function.
