Rob:

But, that should only ever happen across an IBM i version/release upgrade. AFAIK, IBM never adds new parameters to commands within a release.

And, of course, part of your "upgrade" procedure should include running a CL program that deletes any existing duplicates of IBM commands from your "custom commands" (QSYS1) library, then duplicates the new versions from QSYS, and then re-applies any changes to any defaults.

IDK if my fears are rational or not but I have this issue with adding my
own 'system' library ahead of IBM's.

If I put a custom command in there and IBM adds a new parameter to both
the command and the program object then my custom one goes casters up.
Granted, that should stick out and not just slip through like a changed
default might.
