What can I do with this system value?

You can specify whether objects in the root (/), QOpenSys, and user-defined file systems should be scanned by exit programs registered with any of the integrated file system scan-related exit points (*ROOTOPNUD) or not (*NONE). Only stream file objects that are in Type 2 (*TYPE2) directories are scanned.

If this system value is specified to scan objects, the scan control options specified in the Scan control (QSCANFSCTL) system value are used.
