Re: CRTPF Override paramaters

If you're looking for DDS's version of RPGLE's H spec I think you are SOL. 
 This leaves you with a few options:
1)  Purchase a Change Management Package.
2)  Roll your own Change Management Package.
3)  Don't use option 14 to compile DDS but instead use a RSE option to 
"make".  Then have your "make" utility read special comments as compile 
options.
4)  Change the command CRTPF to default to reuse deleted records.  (Files 
relying on arrival order will have a problem with this.)
5)  Use SQL to define that file.  That defaults to reuse deleted records.
6)  Write a command exit point program for CRTPF that forces all actions 
through your "make" utility.

Here's a question.  How often is this really a concern?  How often is 
someone creating a file, not in QTEMP, from scratch?  Wouldn't the bulk of 
the files either:
- already be created
- be restored from a backup
- have CHGPF ran on them, which should respect the existing 'reuse deleted 
records'?

CRTPF Override paramaters






Is there any way to place options, in my DDS physical file, to specify
certains create paramaters?  I would like this file to always be compiled
with Reuses Deleted records and a specific maximum number of records to
allow... 

Just wondering, tim
