<p>The Change System Value (CHGSYSVAL) command changes the current value of the specified system value. Changes to some system values take effect immediately, some changes do not take effect until new jobs are started, and others do not take effect until the next initial program load (IPL).
</p>
<p>System values must be enclosed in apostrophes under three conditions:
</p>
<ul>
<li>If the system value specified is a character string with embedded blanks
</li>
<li>If numeric values or special characters are specified for character type system values
</li>
<li>If the system value is a date or time value
</li>
</ul>
<p>Some system values, such as QACGLVL, QCHRID, QCMNRCYLMT, etc., may be lists. To separate items in the list, use blanks and enclose the entire list in apostrophes. If there is only one item in the list, you do not need apostrophes.
</p>
<p>Some system values, such as QCTLSBSD, QSTRUPPGM, QUPSMSGQ, and QPWDVLDPGM, accept object names and library names. If the system values are qualified, use blanks to separate the object and library names, and enclose the value in apostrophes. Apostrophes are necessary only when the library name or *LIBL is specified with the object name.
</p>
<p><b>Notes:</b>
</p>
<ul>
<li>If a change is made to a date or time system value during any operation that measures the length of time, a negative value may be set if the end time is less than the start time.
</li>
<li>When object names are specified for system values, the lowercase letters in the names are always changed to uppercase even when they are in apostrophes. This means you should not use lowercase letters in the names of objects or libraries that you want to specify on any of the system values.
</li>
</ul>

<h3>System value (SYSVAL)</h3>
<p>Specifies the name of the system value whose value is being changed. Most of the system values can be specified; however, some cannot have their values changed by this command.
</p>
<p>This is a required parameter.
</p>
<p>The system values are:
</p>
<dl>
<dt><b>QABNORMSW</b></dt>
<dd>Previous end of system indicator. This value cannot be changed.
<ul>
<li>'0' means previous end was normal.
</li>
<li>'1' means previous end was abnormal.
</li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt><b>QACGLVL</b></dt>
<dd>Accounting level. Changes made to this system value take effect for jobs started after the change is made.
<ul>
<li>*NONE - No accounting information is written to a journal.
</li>
<li>*JOB - Job resource use is written to a journal.
</li>
<li>*PRINT - Spooled and printer file resource use is written to a journal.
</li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt><b>QACTJOB</b></dt>
<dd>Initial number of active jobs for which storage is allocated. Changes made to this system value take effect at the next IPL.
</dd>
<dt><b>QADLACTJ</b></dt>
<dd>Additional number of active jobs for which storage is allocated. Changes made to this system value take effect immediately.
</dd>
<dt><b>QADLSPLA</b></dt>
<dd>Additional storage for extending spooling control block (bytes). The operating system no longer uses this system value. Changes made to this system value have no effect.
</dd>
<dt><b>QADLTOTJ</b></dt>
<dd>Additional total number of jobs for which storage is allocated. Changes made to this system value take effect immediately.
</dd>
<dt><b>QALWJOBITP</b></dt>
<dd>Allow jobs to be interrupted. This system value specifies how the system responds to user initiated requests to interrupt a job to run a user-defined exit program in that job. The Call Job Interrupt Program (QWCJBITP) API in the iSeries Information Center contains information on using job interrupt exit programs. The Change Job Interrupt Status (QWCCJITP) API in the iSeries Information Center contains information on retrieving and changing the interrupt status of a job. The interrupt status of an active job can be changed at any time but will only take effect when the value of QALWJOBITP allows jobs to be interrupted. Changes made to this system value take effect immediately. The shipped value is 0.
<ul>
<li>0 means the system will not allow jobs to be interrupted to run user-defined exit programs. All new jobs becoming active will default to be uninterruptible. All active jobs are uninterruptible regardless of what the job interrupt status is set to.
</li>
<li>1 means the system will allow jobs to be interrupted to run user-defined exit programs. All new jobs becoming active will default to be uninterruptible.
</li>
<li>2 means the system will allow jobs to be interrupted to run user-defined exit programs. All new jobs becoming active will default to be interruptible.
</li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt><b>QALWOBJRST</b></dt>
<dd>Allow object to be restored. This system value determines whether objects with security-sensitive attributes are restored. See Restore options for additional information.
</dd>
<dt><b>QALWUSRDMN</b></dt>
<dd>Allow user domain objects in libraries or directories. This system value specifies which libraries on the system can contain the user domain user objects *USRSPC (user space), *USRIDX (user index), and *USRQ (user queue). Changes made to this system value take effect immediately.
</dd>
<dt><b>QASTLVL</b></dt>
<dd>Assistance level. Indicates the Operational Assistant level of system displays for user profiles where ASTLVL(*SYSVAL) is specified. Changes made to this system value take effect immediately.
<ul>
<li>*BASIC - The Operational Assistant user interface is used.
</li>
<li>*INTERMED - The system interface is used.
</li>
<li>*ADVANCED - The expert system interface is used.
</li>
</ul>
<p>If a command does not have an *ADVANCED level interface, *INTERMED is used.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><b>QATNPGM</b></dt>
<dd>Attention program. If *ASSIST is specified for this system value, the Operational Assistant main menu is called when the user presses the Attention (Attn) key. This value can be changed to the name of a program, which will be called when the user presses the Attn key in a job where ATNPGM(*SYSVAL) is specified in the user profile. Changes made to this system value take effect immediately.
</dd>
<dt><b>QAUDCTL</b></dt>
<dd>Audit control. This system value contains the on and off switches for object and user action auditing. This system value activates auditing on the system that is selected by the Change Object Auditing (CHGOBJAUD) and Change User Auditing (CHGUSRAUD) commands and the QAUDLVL and QAUDLVL2 system values. Changes made to this system value take effect immediately.
<ul>
<li>*NOTAVL - The user performing the command is not allowed to display the current auditing value. You cannot change the system value to not available (*NOTAVL).
</li>
<li>*NONE - No security auditing is done on the system. This is the shipped value.
</li>
<li>*AUDLVL - The actions specified in the QAUDLVL and QAUDLVL2 system values will be logged to the security journal. Also actions specified by a user profile's action auditing values will be audited. A user profile's action auditing values are set through the AUDLVL parameter on the CHGUSRAUD command.
</li>
<li>*OBJAUD - Actions against objects that have an object audit value other than *NONE will be audited. An object's audit value is set through the Change Auditing Value (CHGAUD) command or the CHGOBJAUD command.
</li>
<li>*NOQTEMP - No auditing of most objects in QTEMP is done. You must specify *NOQTEMP with either *OBJAUD or *AUDLVL. You can not specify *NOQTEMP by itself.
</li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt><b>QAUDENDACN</b></dt>
<dd>Audit journal error action. This system value specifies the action to be taken by the system if errors occur when an audit journal entry is being sent by the operating system to the security audit journal. Changes made to this system value take effect immediately.
<ul>
<li>*NOTAVL - The user performing the command is not allowed to display the current auditing value. You cannot change the system value to not available (*NOTAVL).
</li>
<li>*NOTIFY - Notification of failure is sent to the QSYSOPR and QSYSMSG message queues, and then the action that caused the audit attempt continues.
</li>
<li>*PWRDWNSYS - The Power Down System (PWRDWNSYS) command is issued. The system will then be brought up in a restricted state on the following IPL, and then only a user with audit (*AUDIT) and all object (*ALLOBJ) special authority can sign on the system.
</li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt><b>QAUDFRCLVL</b></dt>
<dd>Force audit journal. This system value specifies the number of audit journal entries that can be written to the security auditing journal before the journal entry data is forced to auxiliary storage.
<ul>
<li>1 through 100.
</li>
<li>*SYS - The system determines when the journal entries are to be written to auxiliary storage based on internal system processing. *SYS cannot be returned in a decimal variable, so the command returns 0 when the value *SYS is specified.
</li>
<li>*NOTAVL - The user performing the command is not allowed to display the current auditing value. You cannot change the system value to not available (*NOTAVL). *NOTAVL cannot be returned in a decimal variable, so the command returns -1 in place of *NOTAVL.
</li>
</ul>
<p>Changes made to this system value take effect immediately.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><b>QAUDLVL</b></dt>
<dd>Security auditing level. Controls the level of action auditing on the system. Changes made to this system value take effect immediately for all jobs running on the system.
<ul>
<li>*NONE - No security action auditing will occur on the system. This is the shipped value.
</li>
<li>*AUDLVL2 - Both QAUDLVL and QAUDLVL2 system values will be used to determine the security actions to be audited.
<p><b>Note:</b>
</p>
<ul>
<li>If you wish to use the QAUDLVL2 system value exclusively, set the QAUDLVL system value to *AUDLVL2 and add your auditing values to the QAUDLVL2 system value.
</li>
<li>If you wish to use both system values you can set your values in the QAUDLVL system value along with the *AUDLVL2 value, then add any additional values to the QAUDLVL2 system value.
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>*ATNEVT - Attention events are audited. Attention events are conditions that require further evaluation to determine the condition's security significance. For example, intrusion monitor events need to be examined to determine whether the condition is an intrusion or a false positive.
</li>
<li>*AUTFAIL - Authorization failures are audited.
</li>
<li>*CREATE - All object creations are audited. Objects created into library QTEMP are not audited.
</li>

<dt><b>QUPSMSGQ</b></dt>
<dd>Message queue for uninterruptible power supply messages. Changes made to this system value take effect the next time there is a power failure.
</dd>
<dt><b>QUSEADPAUT</b></dt>
<dd>Defines which users can create, change and update programs and service programs with the (use adopted authority) USEADPAUT(*YES) attribute. When a program or service program has a use adopted authority attribute of *YES, the program/service program can use any adopted authority that is being passed to it from a program/ service program higher in the call stack.
<p>This system value has no effect on the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Existing programs/service programs created with the USEADPAUT(*YES) attribute. Users are responsible for deciding which existing programs/service programs should be changed to have USEADPAUT(*NO).
</li>
<li>Restoring a program/service program that uses adopted authority. These program/service programs can still be restored on your system.
</li>
<li>Duplicating a program/service program that uses adopted authority. The USEADPAUT attribute of the existing program/service program is copied to the new object.
</li>
</ul>
<p>The following values can be specified:
</p>
<ul>
<li>*NONE means there is no restriction on who can create, change or update a program/service program to use adopted authority. Any user can create, change or update a program/service program to have the USEADPTAUT(*YES) attribute.
</li>
<li>Name means you can specify the name of the authorization list which will control which users can set the USEADPAUT(*YES) attribute. The user needs *USE authority to the authorization list to be able to create, change or update programs/service programs with the USEADPAUT(*YES) attribute. Authority to the authorization list cannot come from adopted authority. That is, if you are running a program that adopts authority, the adopted authority is not used when checking authority to the authorization list.
</li>
</ul>

<dt><b>QUSRLIBL</b></dt>
<dd>User part of the library list. Changes made to this system value take effect for jobs started after the change is made.
</dd>
<dt><b>QUTCOFFSET</b></dt>
<dd>Indicates the number of hours (in 24-hour format) and minutes that the current system time is offset from the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
<ul>
<li>+hhmm means that the current system time is hh hours and mm minutes ahead of UTC.
</li>
<li>-hhmm means that the current system time is hh hours and mm minutes behind UTC.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
<b>Note: </b>This system value must be the same as the offset that is associated with the time zone description specified in the system value QTIMZON. A change to a different time zone description for QTIMZON may result in a different associated offset. The system value QUTCOFFSET will be changed as well to match this new offset. QUTCOFFSET cannot be changed to a value that is different than the offset currently associated with QTIMZON. If an attempt is made to do so, the diagnostic message CPD1687 will be issued.

<dt><b>QVFYOBJRST</b></dt>
<dd>Verify object on restore. This system value specifies the policy to be used for object signature verification during a restore operation. This value applies to objects of types: *CMD, *PGM, *SRVPGM, *SQLPKG and *MODULE. It also applies to *STMF objects which contain Java programs. This value also specifies the policy for PTFs applied to the system including Licensed Internal Code fixes. Changes made to this system value take effect immediately. See Verify object on restore for additional information.

<h3>New value (VALUE)</h3>
<p>Specifies the new value of the system value. Some system values, such as QUSRLIBL and QCTLSBSD, are made up of multiple character strings. These strings must be separated by blanks; apostrophes must surround the value specified for this parameter. For those system values that accept alphabetic characters, any letters that are entered in lowercase (a through z) are translated into uppercase (A through Z), even if they are enclosed in apostrophes. Some system values, such as QDATE and QDBRCVYWT, are zoned-decimal values (character in nature) and must also be enclosed in apostrophes when specified for this parameter. For numeric system values, except for QSECURITY, apostrophes cannot be used. Type the new values that meet the type, length, and range requirements for that system value.
</p>
<p>This is a required parameter.
