Request for default value of INHERIT_PARAMETERS of PDT file, made available at ACS1.1.8.0

For printing related parameters not sent from IBM i,

Reference the parameter of the job printed just before without referring to the definition of PDT,

I want the default behavior of INHERIT_PARAMETERS = YES.


Use Case:

Even if the customer shifts from IBM i Access for Windows to ACS,

Without updating the PDT by the user,the form output function can be used with the same operation as before.
