Change PDM Defaults (CHGPDMDFT)
The Change PDM Defaults (CHGPDMDFT) command enables you to assign Programming Development Manager (PDM) defaults for a specific user. The function is similar to the Change Defaults panel shown when F18 is pressed when using PDM, except that this command can be used to change the PDM defaults for another user and can be run in batch.
Restrictions:
- You must have object management (*OBJMGT) and use (*USE) authorities to the user profile of the user whose PDM defaults are being changed.

User (USER)
Specifies the user whose PDM defaults are to be changed.
This is a required parameter.
- simple-name
- Specify the name of the user whose default values are to be changed. A user profile with the specified name must exist on the system.
Object library (OBJLIB)
Specifies the library where objects created by compiling source file members (from the Work with Members Using PDM display) are to be stored.
- *SAME
- If this parameter was previously set, the value does not change; otherwise *SRCLIB is used.
- *SRCLIB
- Use the library in which the source member exists as the object library.
- *CURLIB
- Use the current library as the object library. If no current library is defined, QGPL is used.
- name
- Specify the name of the library where objects resulting from compilation of source file members are to be stored.
Replace object (RPLOBJ)
Specifies if the existing object is deleted and replaced with the new object created when compiling a member or creating a module.
- *SAME
- If this parameter was previously set, the value does not change; otherwise *NO is used.
- *NO
- The existing object is not deleted before starting to compile a member or create a module. If the object exists, the Confirm Member Compile display appears.
- *YES
- The existing object is deleted before starting to compile a member or create a module. If the compilation fails, the object is not restored.
Create/compile in batch (CRTBCH)
Specifies whether to submit a job to batch when compiling members or creating modules.
- *SAME
- If this parameter was previously set, the value does not change; otherwise *YES is used.
- *YES
- Compile members or create modules in batch.
- *NO
- Compile members or create modules interactively.
Run in batch (RUNBCH)
Specifies whether to submit a job to batch when running objects.
- *SAME
- If this parameter was previously set, the value does not change; otherwise *NO is used.
- *NO
- Objects do not run in batch.
- *YES
- Objects run in batch.
Save/restore option (SAVRSTOPT)
Specifies whether to save or restore objects and members individually or with one command.
- *SAME
- If this parameter was previously set, the value does not change; otherwise *SINGLE is used.
- *SINGLE
- Save or restore the selected objects or members individually, each with its own separate command.
- *ALL
- Save or restore the selected objects or members all at the same time with one command.
Job description (JOBD)
Specifies the name of the job description for submitting a job in batch mode.
Single values
- *SAME
- If this parameter was previously set, the value does not change; otherwise *LIBL/QBATCH is used.
- *USRPRF
- The job description defined in the user profile of the user specified for the User (USER) parameter is used.
Qualifier 1: Job description
- name
- Specify the name of the job description to be used.
Qualifier 2: Library
- *LIBL
- All libraries in the job library list will be searched for the specified job description.
- *CURLIB
- The current library for the job will be searched for the specified job description. If no current library is defined, QGPL is used as the current library.
- name
- Specify the name of the library to be searched for the specified job description.
Change type and text (CHGTYPTXT)
Specifies if the Type and Text prompts can be changed by typing over them on the Work with Members Using PDM display.
- *SAME
- If this parameter was previously set, the value does not change; otherwise *YES is used.
- *YES
- The Type and Text prompts can be changed by typing over them on the Work with Members Using PDM display.
- *NO
- The Type and Text prompts cannot be changed by typing over them on the Work with Members Using PDM display.
Option file (FILE)
Specifies the file that contains the member with the user-defined options. The user-defined options in this file are the active user-defined options. The user-defined option file has a particular format. For more information on this format and how to copy a user-defined options file, refer to the AS/400 Programming Development Manager User's Guide and Reference.
Single values

Qualifier 2: Library
- *LIBL
- All libraries in the job library list will be searched for the active user-defined options file.
- *CURLIB
- The current library for the job will be searched for the active user-defined options file. If no current library is defined, QGPL is used as the current library.
- name
- Specify the name of the library to be searched for the active user-defined options file.
