There are arguments on both sides as to where *DUPPROC or *NODUPPROC should
be the default.  I have mixed feelings myself so I'm going to take the
coward's way out and leave that issue alone! <G>

I think that the use of OPTION with multiple values so that CHGCMDDFT can't
be used just plain sux.  Each of the possibilities should be broken out into
a separate parameter so that each shop could set the defaults to its own
standards.

One possibility to consider is creating a PDM user options for CRTPGM and/or
CRTSRVPGM with the options specified that you want, something like:

CRTSRVPGM SRVPGM(&O/&N) MODULE(&N) TEXT(&X) ACTGRP(*CALLER) OPTION(*DUPPROC
*DUPVAR) DETAIL(*BASIC) REPLACE(&R)
