Re: Add a value to a multi-entry parameter

Thanks to all who responded.

Chuck, adding a 'plus' in front the parameter was the first thing I tried. I was hoping... There's probably not enough interest for an RFE - kind of a seldom-needed feature. And as you pointed out, there are ways around it.

Bryan, I would love to have TAATOOLS on all our boxes, but we have 16 and there's no way that management would swallow that pill.

Thanks again to all.

I need to add a SPCAUT value (*JOBCTL in this case) to multiple user
profiles. I do a WRKUSRPRF *ALL and put a '2' next each one that I want
to change, and then I type 'SPCAUT(*JOBCTL)' on the command line and
press Enter and - guess what - it stomps over all the existing SPCAUTs
for the selected users and leaves them with only *JOBCTL.

How, using this method, can I add an entry to SPCAUT for each of these
users, without losing their existing SPCAUTs?

Frankly, in this case I can get around this, but that still leaves the
question in my mind of how to Add an entry to a multi-entry parameter
without stomping over the existing entries.

Not exactly a world-changer, but I am curious now.

We're on 7.2.
