New built-in function %RESET.

The %RESET built-in function can be used to query or set the reset value for a field.


Use Case:

IF %RESET(myField) <> myField;
// myField has changed
ENDIF;

// Assign new reset value at anytime.

    IBM does not intend to provide a solution to this request at this time, so it is being closed.

    This request is low priority since it has been open for a long time and it still has a low number of votes.

    The ILE RPG team has quite a long list of higher priority requirements, so this request is not likely to be implemented anytime soon.

    .IBM will use this request as input to planning but no commitment is made or implied. This request will be updated in the future if IBM implements it. IBM will use votes and comments from others in the community to help prioritize this request.

    IBM has received the requirement and is evaluating it. IBM will provide a response after evaluation is complete.

    I think the comparison would be far more useful than the setting of a new initial value.
