CHGCMDDFT CRTPRTF

Hello pundits

We run weekly a DLTEXPSPLF to purge old spool files.
This method relies on (all) spool files having an expiration date
so I changed all PRTFs to have EXPDATE(*DAYES) and DAYS(45)
and now all spool files are stamped with an expiration date upon creation.

However,
not all developers remembers/cares to specify EXPDATE/DAYS parameters when
creating/changing PRTFs and so there are now spool files taht are not
marked with expiration date.

So I turned to CHGCMDDFT for CRTPRTF.
I've found out that you can do
CHGCMDDFT CMD(CRTPRTF) NEWDFT('EXPDATE(*DAYS)')
but you *cannot* do
CHGCMDDFT CMD(CRTPRTF) NEWDFT('DAYS(30)')
you get a "No default value exists for keyword DAYS" MSG

Anyone willing/able to advise?

TIA
Gad
