RE: Command Defaults and Query

Hi Dwayne

If you have two other AS/400's that need to be upgraded the WRKOBJ to 
outfile approach might work for you by querying the objects on the machines 
that HAVEN'T been upgraded yet.

If you can identify the changed ones on the un-upgraded systems either by 
last change date or the modified flag suggested elsewhere then you could 
probably  get a pretty good handle on which commands should be in your 
"upgrade" CL
