Change the default of CRTPF parameter SIZE

We are on 7.2, going to 7.3 soon.

The default for CRTPF is SIZE(10000 1000 3). This means only 13000 records are required before escape message CPA5305 is issued.

The default can be changed using CHGCMDDFT, but it's set back to the original IBM setting when the o/s is upgraded.

We run many queries that recreate output files. Many output files are larger than 13000 records, so we get many CPA5305 messages in the QSYSOPR message queue.

We have a reply list entry for CPA5305 that responds with 9999, but this can sometimes take several seconds to respond.

So instead of all this extra processing, would IBM consider changing the SIZE parameter of CRTPF to some larger value?

Perhaps users should be asked what they would like to see this value set to?

Note that SQL tables are set to *NOMAX rows by the SQL statement CREATE TABLE.

Additional:

If IBM are reluctant to change the SIZE default of CRTPF because of the unknown consequences, perhaps consider a new system value "QPFDFTSIZE". This would be shipped with the current default of the SIZE parameter of CRTPF - SIZE(10000 1000 3) - and the new default value of the SIZE parameter of CRTPF would now be set to *SYSDFT. As I understand it, system values are kept between o/s upgrades.

Queries that create output files can slowed down by the reply list entry processing.

Many CPA5305 messages in QSYSOPR makes it more difficult to see important messages.
