Add AUTO-EXTEND Attribute to QUSCRTUS API

The only extra attribute that is not on the QUSCRTUS (Create User Space) API is the Auto-Extend Attribute. Since the overwhelming vast majority of end-user created user spaces need to be auto-extend, please add this property to the QUSCRTUS API.


Use Case:

The QUSCUSAT (Change User Space Attributes) API is a bit complex. To create an Auto-Extend User Space _always_ requires 2 API calls. Both the Initial Value and Space Size are passed to QUSCRTUS, but the Auto-Extend attribute is not which causes users to have to learn and call this 2nd API that uses a largely complex structure.

    Thank you for asking about the other releases! The change was also made in 7.4, but I forgot to add the PTF# in my last update.
    Here are the PTF numbers:
    7.4 - SI78862
    7.5 - SI78875

    This change was not PTF'd back to 7.3.

    Thank you for this enhancement. What are the PTF IDs for V7R3 and V7R4?

    The CEAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a “nice to have” LOW priority feature.

    Background: The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (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
