Re: Duplicating IBM commands that I do not have authority to duplicate

[Mark Waterbury <mark.s.waterbury@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Mark, and Dan,

One thing to be careful of with using "proxy" commands ... 

If you try to use CHGCMDDFT to change the defaults of any parameters of the command, you will actually be changing the defaults of the underlying "real" command ... :-o       (A really poor design choice by IBM ....)

Depending on what you are trying to do, since you have retrieved the command source, it is very easy to write your own "wrapper" command and just write a little CL program as the "CPP"... that makes it easy to also add your own "validity checking program" (VCP) too.  :-)

All the best,

Mark S. Waterbury

Dan,

  Can you CRTDUPOBJ to the new name?  Or, maybe even better, try the 
CRTPRXCMD command.
