[David Gibbs <david@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

tl;dr; create a program that dupes & modifies the commands into a dedicated
library. Put that library above qsys in the system library list and clear
it here doing upgrades.

IBM i on Power Systems: For when you can't afford to be out of business!

I'm riding in the American Diabetes Association's Tour de Cure to raise
money for diabetes research, education, advocacy, and awareness.  You can
make a tax-deductible donation to my ride by visiting

You can see where my donations come from by visiting my interactive
donation map ... https://mideml.diabetessucks.net/map (it's a geeky thing).

I may have diabetes, but diabetes doesn't have me!
