DBUTLTY DEFAULT and FORCE Functions

By making use of the ability of the DBIN1PR Macro to process user configuration options prior to normal SYSIN processing, beginning in Version 14.0, a DBUTLTY DEFAULT function allows you to control two defaults, and a DBUTLTY FORCE function allows you to force one keyword value.

Important! We recommend that you use the DBUTLTY DEFAULT and FORCE functions with caution. Users have a tendency to only note a condition code of 0 (zero), and do not additionally view output, not noticing results that were other than expected. A simpler and less potential confusing practice is to adjust the actual JCL streams for site standards instead of making use of the DEFAULT and FORCE functions.
