Hi, Buck,

I agree completely.  :-)

Just pointing out some "pros and cons" of using CRTPRXCMD ... ;-)

Depending on what you are trying to do, since you have retrieved the command source, it is very easy to write your own "wrapper" command and just write a little CL program as the "CPP"... that makes it easy to also add your own "validity checking program" (VCP) too.  :-)


Typically, if I need to tinker with an IBM command it's something more
than CHGCMDDFT can handle, and being a programmer, I prefer to write my
own command, CPP, VCP, and UIM help - that eventually executes the stock
IBM command. When IBM decide to add a new parameter, it'll probably be
optional, and my 'proxy' won't need to be changed.
