Re: Preserving changed default values for system commands

["Roger Harman" <RHarman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I do pretty much the same thing as Jerry.  Our own USRSYS library at the
top of QSYSLIBL and a CL named NEW_OS that gets run to do a number of
things like authority changes and duped commands with changed defaults. 
Same thing for a couple of vendor products that we change some defaults
on.

You need to be careful with this, however, as command parameters change
from release to release ... so, if you put this library higher than qsys
on the system library list, you replicate the commands immediately after
the release upgrade so applications don't start failing because they are
running the old releases commands instead of the new releases commands.
