System value QSTRPRTWTR

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Got this question about a system value and wasn't getting a response to a 
thread on the security list.  Since it started wavering off to system 
values I thought I'd cross post it here.

I will have my own QSTRUP call the one in QSYS first.  Then it will 
execute it's thing, but with adopted authority.  This way I will get any 
new updates that IBM decides to add in QSYS/QSTRUP, and, if I put on a new 
release I don't have to worry about changing any job descriptions, 
changing the authority on QSYS/QSTRUP, etc.

I have one question about this.  I planned on using the technique that IBM 

uses in their QSTRUP to start writers.
     QSYS/RTVSYSVAL SYSVAL(QSTRPRTWTR) RTNVAR(&STRWTRS)
     IF COND(&STRWTRS = '0') THEN(GOTO CMDLBL(NOWTRS))
     CALL PGM(QSYS/QWCSWTRS)
     MONMSG MSGID(CPF0000)
NOWTRS:

So my code is a copy of the above, preceded by CALL QSYS/QSTRUP.

But if I previously called QSYS/QSTRUP I want to make sure that QSTRPRTWTR 

is not reset by that.  So, at what point does that get reset?  This is not 

a system value you can do CHGSYSVAL on.  Just want to make sure that if I 
am doing some special IPL that I don't start the printer writers 
unnecessarily.
