RE: PDM Default Options, F18. Where are they stored, how to retrieve them in an RPG program.

Sometimes "call IBM" isn't the right answer. Although the programmer of
PDM (as of 1998) resided at IBM Canada, (don't know if he's still
there), even he wasn't too clear on what was done back in the "olden
days" of PDM. You're talking about mid 1980s stuff. Sometimes if you
can't "steal this code" from someone the only way to figure it out is to
figure it out for yourself.  :(  This is the kind of stuff we used to do
back in the olden days of Q38.

Not sure at the moment.  I have just been following the thread, and it
seems like useful data to be able to retrieve sometime in the future.
My philosophy is that all data resides in a file somewhere.  The trick
is usually figuring out 1) how to access it  and 2) how to read it.  I
don't really want your program, just wanted to know if someone at my
company had found a use for that data, 1) what could have pointed me
toward the dmpsysobj *cmd, and 2) what would have told me how to
interpret it?

If the answer is "Call IBM", then I can live with that.

That depends on why you want to retrieve the defaults in the first
place?  I'd let you have my command but it requires my RPGIV toolkit
which is 14Mb.
