What follows is an excerpt from the online documention of the LODRUN cmd (
at a cmd line, type LODRUN, press F4, press F1, press F2 ).  The online
documentation of LODRUN is very extensive, is accurate and clearly states
that "the program QINSTAPP must be owned by a user user profile that resises
on the target system".

What does IBM have to change ?

The except from LODRUN online documentation (V4R4) :

   When the LODRUN command is run:

     1.  The media is searched for the user-written program, which must
         be named QINSTAPP and saved from library QTEMP.

             Note:  The program QINSTAPP must be owned by a user
             profile that resides on the target system.  If QINSTAPP is
             restored to a system that does not have the owning user
             profile, control is not transferred and the program is not
             run.
