I was burned by that before in another shop. Everyone was surprised when WRKJOB took them directly to the Spooled Files on the job, because I created JS from WRKJOB and changed the command defaults. Thinking back on that, that could have been extremely dangerous if used on a command that could change or delete something (think *ADD or *REPLACE on CPYF, for example).
Fortunately for me, the biggies are WLP, WOP, and WMP, for which I do not change the defaults, so CRTPRXCMD fits the bill perfectly. There are a few other commands whose defaults I would change if I was able to duplicate the actual command object into my library. For those, I'll have to wrap the IBM command in one of my own CMD/CPP.
Thanks for all of the responses!

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.

Trying to duplicate PDM commands to WLP, WOP, and WMP using CRTDUPOBJ.
Unfortunately, I do not have authority to do that.
I used TAATOOL's RTVCMDSRC
