Re: System value QSTRPRTWTR

I have no intention of changing QSTRPRTWTR.  Is the IPL Options screen the 
only place where IBM changes it also?  If so, then my problem is solved. I 
just wanted to make sure that the call to QWCSWTRS, or some other such 
task, doesn't reset the value.

In my QSTRUP program the first executable is a CALL QSYS/QSTRUP.  Then it 
does my stuff.  That way I am covered if IBM ever adds stuff to it in a 
new release.

Re: System value QSTRPRTWTR







Hi,

QSTRPRTWTR is a totally worthless system value.  The only place you can
change it is on the IPL Options screen, and the only place where IBM uses
it is in QSTRUP.

Rob, you can change your own QSTRUP program, but you need to be aware that
IBM changes this program from release to release, and it's important to
examine the changes.  IBM does not particularly document these changes.

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.
