RE: Default for command without default value?

Ahh, that sounds like a plan.  If I could retrieve the CMD source for the
CRTRPGPGM it would be a simple matter for me to edit it and add a default
for OPTION.  Any clue as to what this home grown command might be called?
I'll search for RTVCMDSRC and see if anything pops up.

(Aye, found a new job here at Cels Enterprises, Inc.  So far I like it).

Jim, (new email address?  Guess you found that new job, eh?)
I b*tched and moaned about CRTRPGPGM OPTION parameter before as well.
To answer your question directly, there is a freeware app out there
somewhere (News400?) that allows you to retrieve the source from a command
object.  Then you could modify it as you wished.

Hi,
I tried to add a default value to the CRTRPGPGM command for the OPTION
parameter for *SRCDBG to always compile with debug information.  Error came
back that OPTION didn't have a default parameter, so I could't change it.
Makes sense, but begs the question, how do I add a default value to a
command parameter without a current default parameter?
I would guess I would have to recompile the command, which I can't find for
the system commands, so would have have to create my own command and set all
the defaults I wanted and stick it higher in my library list not to mess
with the system command.  Seems like a bit of a headache getting all the
parameters right though.
Is there an easier way?  If not, I will probably create a CL interface that
calls CRTRPGPGM with the default values I want and create a CRTRPGPGM
pointing to my CL, which I know the subset parameters of.
