Re: CRTSQLRPGI Activation Group default

Having a custom version of systems commands in a library above QSYS is
basically no longer allowed.

It's a security risk that IBM has been working to close since v7.1, from

the 7.1 MTU

Thanks for your input Charles, I wasn't aware of that.
That might explain why my version of the command is not being picked up.

Perhaps the documentation for CHGCMDDFT should be updated.
This from V7R4:

To change an IBM-supplied command, you should create a copy of the command

in a user library and change the defaults of the copied command, instead of
the IBM-supplied command itself. The user library should be listed before
the library QSYS on the library list. Save the source of the CHGCMDDFT
command so that the same changes can be made again later, if needed. This
procedure allows you to use the original IBM-supplied command defaults when
necessary and ensures that changes made to the copied commands are not
overlaid when a new release is installed, or a PTF is applied that contains
the IBM-supplied command.

As I mentioned in earlier posts, my preference is to keep life simple and
have creation instructions in the source code for Scott's BUILD command.
Personally I don't think that's a massive overhead even if you have to
retrofit it to a bunch of objects, but I'm just a contractor and my client
may see things differently.

Thanks for your post - do you have a link to that documentation?
