RE: changing defaults?

[PaulMmn <PaulMmn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

>Barbara,

Our re-create program does the following:

        - Archives our old command to our ARCHIVES library
        - Re-duplicates the command from QSYS to our library
        - Re-applies the CHGCMDDFTs

This procedure prevents problems with IBM changing the CPP-- we always have
the latest version.
