Spot on Mr Clark!!

Rather like changing compilers to ignore decimal data errors by default or the deadly change to INZTAP to CHECK(*NO). Been there, seen that. Sounded like a former sailor convention in the DC...

Obviously different people may feel differently on any given

wouldn't want a parameter default that causes summary deletion of data or
objects without notice. If I specify such an option and it ends up
deleting something I don't want then shame on me and I can only blame
myself. But, if something ends up being deleted that I *don't* want
because of a supplied default from vendor (including IBM) software then
shame on them and I will complain bitterly about it.
