That is what we speculated should happen; however, empirical evidence on our soon-to-be-replaced TCP/IP suggests otherwise might be the case for it. If we have any tags overridden, it cannot seem to find the ones in the IBM DCPARMS file for whatever server we are working with. Since we are close to moving from 3A0 to 5.2.0, we will test the situation there. Meanwhile, the circumvention is in place and there it will stay until 5.2.0.

Richard,

The entire entry is not replaced.  The server will use whatever tags you define in the SYSTEM DTCPARMS to override the individual tag in IBM DTCPARMS, and use the defaults from IBM DTCPARMS for any tag not specified in SYSTEM DTCPARMS.
