Re: Change service program info for program

[Jerry Adams <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tommy is correct on these cautions. 

However, if you have shop standards that the default should be changed 
for everyone, the best way to do that is to copy the command (probably 
from QSYS) into another library and, then, change the default there.  
For this to actually work, the library with the changed default must be 
ahead of the original command library (probably QSYS).  For shop 
standards it beats making PDM or WDSc changes everywhere.  Being a 
one-man shop, shop standards are generally whatever I want them to be so 
that's usually what I do.  In a larger organization it might go over 
like a lead balloon.
