The Challenge: How do I modify the PDM options file?

When you press [F18] while you are in PDM, you will see that the options file is one of the parameters you can change. This options file is responsible for the two character short cuts that you execute under "Opt".

The objective of this exercise is to copy the existing one and put it into our library and add a new option that would bring in a stream file to a source member.

Solution:

1. Create a copy of the default options file to your library:

CRTDUPOBJ OBJ(QAUOOPT) FROMLIB(QGPL) OBJTYPE(*FILE) TOLIB(MYLIB) NEWOBJ(PDMOPTIONS) CST(*NO) TRG(*NO)

RNMM FILE(MYLIB/PDMOPTIONS) MBR(QAUOOPT) NEWMBR(PDMOPTIONS)

2. Change the options file to the one we have just created.

Create your new options using these rules for parameters.
