Configuration objects can be  backed up by either the  SAVSYS or SAVCFG
commands.   In either case,  the QSAVCFG data  area in QSYS  is updated
with the date of the last save.

The  CHKCFGCHG  command can  assist you  in  determining if  there have
been any  changes  since the  last  backup.   The command  is  normally
entered without any parameters.  It is entered as:

      CHKCFGCHG

It  will  return a  message  for  each  configuration object  that  has
changed since the last time the configuration objects were saved.

The   command  is  dependent  upon  the   change  date  in  the  object
description of the configuration objects  which is not accurate in  all
cases.  See the 'Restrictions' section.

Command parameters                                    *CMD
------------------

   DATE          The date  to check  against.   The default  is *SAVCFG
                 which  means  the  last  time  the  SAVCFG  or  SAVSYS
                 commands were run.

   TIME          The time to  check against.   The  default is  000000.
                 If   DATE(*SAVCFG)  is   specified,   this  value   is
                 ignored.

Prerequisites
-------------

The following TAA Tools must be on your system:

           EDTVAR       Edit variable
           SNDCOMPMSG   Send completion message
           SNDSTSMSG    Send status message

Restrictions
------------

The  command   is  dependent  upon  the  change   date  in  the  object
description  of configuration objects.   This is not  set in all cases.
If the device  is varied off  when the change  occurs, the change  date
is  set.   If the  device is  not varied  off, the  change date  is not
changed.   Most changes can  only occur when the  device is varied off.
A few changes  (such as  the TEXT  parameter) can be  changed when  the
device is varied on.

Implementation
--------------

None, the tool is ready to use.
