Re: Accessing/changing PDM defau

Thanks for that. I originally tried doing a DMPSYSOBJ but couldn't find where
the option file was stored, so couldn't work out if this was the way to go.
Could you paste your source code here as it would be of interest? Thanks in
advance.

Subject: Re: Accessing/changing PDM defau

The MI gurus may have figured how to handle it more gracefully, but I have a
utility that retrieves the PDM defaults and puts them in a data area.
Updating the defaults is not possible through the interface I use to retrieve
them, which is basically:

   DmpSysObj  Obj( &User ) Context( QSYS ) Type( 0E ) SubType( C4 )

Since you seem to require updating the PDM defaults outside of PDM, you
probably wouldn't be interested, but I would be happy to share the source code
for formatting the DmpSysObj output into a data area.  I.e.:

  Data area . . . . . . . :   $PDMDFTSDA
    Library . . . . . . . :     QTEMP
  Type  . . . . . . . . . :   *CHAR
  Length  . . . . . . . . :   256
  Text  . . . . . . . . . :   PDM Defaults for user BALED

             Value
  Offset      *...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5
      0      '*SRCLIB   YYN 1QBATCH    *LIBL                DJBL'
     50      'IB    QAUOOPT   YYY                               '
    100      '                                                  '
    150      '                                                  '
    200      '                                                  '
    250      '      '

Anyone know any way of retrieving/changing the defaults from PDM (other than
pressing F18 on a PDM screen!!!)?
