[WDSCI-L] CL Prompting in WDSC

["August Fassler" <august.fassler@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Does anyone know of a way to keep explicitly keyed "default" values from
being removed after prompting on a command?

Case in point...

SAVLIB     LIB(&SAVLIB) DEV(&TAPDEV) + 
             ACCPTH(*YES) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) +             
             OUTFILE(QTEMP/SAVERR) INFTYPE(*OBJ)     

The default value for INFTYPE is "*OBJ".  If I prompt on this command in
SEU, the explicitly coded *OBJ will remain in the command when I return
from the prompting screen.  If, however, I prompt in WDSC, it is assumed
that any default values should be omitted.  This is not a true
assumption in our environment.  In this particular case, *OBJ was
explicitly coded to indicate that a conscious decision was made to
include object level messages in the output file - as opposed to just
accepting the default, whatever that may be. 

Obviously, I'm not suggesting that all default values should be
shown...I'm simply suggesting that if the value was present prior to the
prompting, it should remain when you return from the prompting window.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice,
