RE: CRTCLPGM default parameters

Help for CRTCLGPM states "The underlined values for this parameter
[OPTION] are similar to, but actually default values, and therefore,
cannot be changed with the Change Command Default (CHGCMDDFT) command."

Not to be flippant, but do you use a source control product? They
usually let you set global defaults for program creation.

Possibly a less desirable option is to clone the CRTCLPGM command to
another library, retrieve source, and modify so it has a default value
(add DFT to the parameter). Not sure how this is affected with proxy
commands.

Subject: CRTCLPGM default parameters


Good morning everyone
again my beauty sleep was interrupted because of a production problem.
This
time it was a CLP program that the programmer had NOT compiled with
OPTION(*SRCDBG) so I could not use STRSRVJOB with STRDBG to have a look
at
what values certain fields had. Needless to say, that certain programmer
will feel my wrath when he gets back from vacation.
So, to trying to be pro-active, I decided to change the default to the
CRTCLPGM using the following command
CHGCMDDFT CMD(QSYS/CRTCLPGM) NEWDFT('OPTION(*SRCDBG)')

This does not work. The following error is returned
No default value exists for keyword OPTION.

Does anyone know of a way to change the OPTION parameter so that *SRCDBG
will be used?

Thanks in advance
