Use Custom Default Settings

You can override the default data selection settings by providing a selections resource file, PSPA$SELECT.DAT in the DECW$USER_DEFAULTS directory area (typically SYS$LOGIN). A sample file is provided in PSPA$EXAMPLES.

The PSPA$SELECT.DAT file will be read once when you make the first data selection. This file can be edited with a text editor. A leading exclamation point (!) makes a setting a comment.

Only override those items that are significant to you, as the process does slow the activation of the Data Selection dialog box.
