Re: CHGCMDDFT -- MIDRANGE-L

You read the question correctly.

I want to understand why the changing the command seems to have had no
effect.

This is one CL program with one command where a default was changed.

It could be a lot of programs possibly with visibility removed and no
source, so changing a command default might be the only option.

That's how i read his question.

If you're imbedding the command in a CL program why do you give a

tinker's

dam what the command default is? Why not just put that parameter into

the

program? Instead of
CHGCMDDFT CMD(SAVLIB) NEWDFT('ENDOPT(*EJECT)')
just put
SAVLIB ... ENDOPT(*EJECT)
into your CL program.

Or am I missing something here?

That was what I thought.

But I have changed both QSYS and QSYSV7R1M0 and the joblog is showing a
wait time of 120 seconds which is the command default not the 10 seconds
on the changed command.

I will do some more testing

I could be wrong here but I do not think the command in the QSYSV7R1M0
library is used except when compiling to previous releases, in this case
7.1.

Whatever default value exists for that parameter in the command in QSYS
will be used UNLESS the source code specified a different value.

If I have a program compiled at say V7R1 that uses for example the

If I change the SAVLIB command in the QSYSV7R1M0 for example CHGCMDDFT
SAVACTWAIT(10) (I also tried changing the command in QSYS to test)

And I do not recompile the CL Program with the changed command take

effect

or will the program run with the defaults as at the time it was compiled

?

Thanks
