Re: Command defaults changed after upgrade --> V4R4

[email@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (James W Kilgore)]

John,

AFAIK, any upgrade resets the commands back to the factory default.

What we did was crt a command (SETCMDDFT) which we run after an upgrade
to reapply any command default changes we desire.

It's also a nice way to document why the commands don't behave the way
the book says.
