Add APAR id to Object_Statistics

When performing an upgrade one may want to find all commands which have had their defaults changed via CHGCMDDFT.
If you do the DSPOBJD with *SERVICE details you can look at the APAR ID (ODAPAR). It get CHGDFT for any commands that have had CHGCMDDFT run on them.
APAR ID does not exist in OBJECT_STATISTICS.


Use Case:

Select
OBJNAME,
OBJTYPE,
OBJTEXT,
OBJLIB
from table(OBJECT_STATISTICS(
'*ALL',
'*CMD'
)) x
WHERE APAR_ID = 'CHGDFT';

    The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority requirement that should be addressed.

    Background: The CEAC members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a crucial role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    To find out how CEAC help to shape the future of IBM i, see CEAC @ ibm.biz/BdYSYj and the article "The Five Hottest IBM i RFEs Of The Quarter" at ibm.biz/BdYSZT

    Try this:
    CHGCMDDFT CMD(CRTCTLAPPC) NEWDFT('MAXFRAME(265)')
    DSPOBJD OBJ(CRTCTLAPPC) OBJTYPE(*CMD) DETAIL(*SERVICE)
    OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(QTEMP/DSPOBJD)
    Maybe the DETAIL(*SERVICE) is important?
    select odapar from qtemp.dspobjd
    APAR
    ID
    CHGDFT

    No idea how CHGDFT comes into ODAPAR for you but this isn't the case on my system ?
