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...
Hmm. Not sure whether Rob was talking about modifying the call in the CL
program, REXX script, or whatever, or actually modifying the command
defaults, but "CLEAR(*REPLACE)" would be potentially useful in a CL
program that updates distribution save files, except that it's just as
easy to have such a program do a CLRSAVF first (which is what we do).
And while CHECK(*NO) is somewhat useful if you're certain about what's
in the drive, and it's either a transfer tape you use to get stuff in
and out of a physically isolated box, or an obsolete backup tape you're
recycling, it's definitely not something any sane person would ever want
as a default.
