Hold spool files during CRTLF
I've just discovered that CHGCMDDFT CMD(OURSYS/CRTLF) NEWDFT('OPTION(*NOSRC *NOLIST)') will not work. This is due to the OPTION parameter not having a default assigned.
Is there a way to have the resultant spool file, during the creation of a file. default to a non-print outq?

Answer Wiki:
For CRTLF, you can set the printer file to hold by default:<pre>
CHGPRTF FILE(QSYS/QPDDSSRC) HOLD(*YES)</pre>
You could also change its default *OUTQ.
But why?
There might be a better alternative depending on what your business problem is. You asked about a specific technical item that might have no good answer. If you describe the <i>business problem</i> that needs to be solved, many possible answers might be available. Some might be part of better processes.

Easiest way is to change the output queue parameter on your user profile to the desired output queue and make sure your job description output queue parameter is set to *USRPRF.
