Hi, everyone:

"No one respects the flame quite like the fool who's badly burned"-- lyrics from a song by Pete Townshend

You need to be careful about issuing CHGCMDDFT against "proxy" commands -- as of V5R4 and above, many LPPs install a "proxy" command in QSYS,that points to the "real" command in the "base" LPP library. For example, if you issue:

DSPCMD CRTBNDRPG

you will likely see something like this:

Display Command Information

Command . . . . . : CRTBNDRPG Library . . . . . : QSYS

Target command . . . . . . . . : CRTBNDRPG
Library . . . . . . . . . . : QDEVTOOLS
Text . . . . . . . . . . . . . : Create Bound RPG Program

Current proxy chain . . . . . : QSYS/CRTBNDRPG
QDEVTOOLS/CRTBNDRPG

If you just issue:
CHGCMDDFT CMD(CRTBNDRPG) NEWDFT('OPTION(*SRCSTMT)')

it does not change the "proxy" command, but "follows the chain" and alters the "real" CRTBNDRPG *CMD object in library QDEVTOOLS.

(See the help text for the CRTPRXCMD command for some details.)

Hope that helps,
