Re: CHGCMDDFT CRTPRTF -- MIDRANGE-L

In the case of *PRTFs that are to be exceptions to the general rule then I
would just have the exit program check if the current *PRTF is one of the
exceptions. The exception list could be stored in a table or hardcoded in
the exit program.

On that command exit point I'd be careful with one thing. I have no
problem with you changing CRTPRTF to your new defaults. However, you may
be more careful with CHGPRTF. The difference between overriding and
changing the defaults is big. Perhaps there is some special printer file
you do not want to automatically delete after a set number of days. You
might have to disable the exit during that particular change. Definitely
not trying to spread FUD. Just something to be aware of.

Hi Gad

Chuck gave you the reason - there is no default for DAYS(), therefore,
it can't be changed.

DAYS() is a dependent (not sure if that's the term) parameter - it comes
into effect only when there is a certain value in a different parameter
- in this case, the EXPDATE parameter.

If you look at the documentation, you'll see there is no underline for
the values for the DAYS() parameter. That means no default.

I think he suggested the exit, as did Rob - that seems the only way to
do what you need.

Vern

Rob, Vern

The CHGPRTF is as follows:
CHGPRTF FILE(QSYSPRT) EXPDATE(*DAYS) DAYS(45)

When issuing a
CHGCMDDFT CMD(CRTPRTF) NEWDFT('EXPDATE(*DAYS) DAYS(45)')
I get a CPD6263
Checking between parameters not done for parameter EXPDATE.

I created a PRTF anyway and it has EXPDATE(*NONE) - the IBM default.

Thanks
Gad
