Set Application Default Entry (CHGAPPDFT)

The Set Application Default Entry (CHGAPPDFT) command Changes or creates an entry in a previously specified Application defaults file (create by the CRTDFTFILE command). The entry can be retrieved using the Application Defaults functions provided in the RPG IV *SRVPGM COZAPPDFT or by using the RTVAPPDFT CL command. Application Defaults are stored in a database file. The purpose it to allow applications to either customize their interface for specific users or to save settings for the next time the application is run. For example, you could save the OUTPUT QUEUE where the application creates its output between calling the program so the end-user doesn't need to constantly set it to a different output queue.
