IBM i : Scan File Systems Control (QSCANFSCTL)- '*NONE'

Information

The Scan File Systems Control (QSCANFSCTL) system value controls the integrated file system scanning that is enabled when exit programs are registered with any of the integrated file system scan-related exit points.

Solution

If you want the most restrictive values specified for integrated file system
scanning, then the recommended settings are *ERRFAIL and *NOWRTUPG. This ensures that any failure
from the scan exit programs prevent the associated operations, as well as not give the exit program
additional access levels. However, the *NONE value is a good option for most users. When installing
code that is shipped from a trusted source, it is recommended that *NOPOSTRST be specified during that
install time period
