Re: Assigning ownership in Ops Nav

  The best I've found so far is to use the CHGAUT command with '/dir1/..../*' 
for
the object name.  That gets all files and directories in the specified path.  Be
sure to do the CHGOWN command (same syntax) first and the CHGAUT command 
second. 
You still need to chase the subdirectories yourself however. (F9 is your
friend!).

  If you map the drive to a PC and do DIR /F/S > dirfile (works in OS/2 anyway)
You get a file with just the list of files all the way down the tree.  You could
upload this to the 400 and read it in a CLP processing each record.  That'd save
some typing!
