yes, for that particular parm.  The suggestion is really more focus on a 
flexible compiler directive that can override any parm in the create command 
without us have to wait for new keyword.

for example: 
If I'm compiling a PF using CRTPF.  I would want to be able to have the 
following in my DDS 
      /OVRPARM MAXMBRS(5) SIZE(*NOMAX)
  
If I'm compiling a PRTF usign CRTPRTF.  I would want to be able to have the 
following in my DDS 
      /OVRPARM PAGESIZE(68 80)

If IBM add a new parm to CRTBNDRPG command.  I would want to be able to have 
the following in RPG source
        /OVRPARM NEWPARM(VALUE)

The main objective would be a compiler directive that is flexiable enough that 
developer would not need to wait for new keyword to be added.
