It seems that, at the heart of the matter, is the question "Can adopting 
authority via USRPRF(*OWNER) cause QSECOFR's effective authority to be 
degraded?"

Based on the fact that you're asking the question, I'd say the answer is 
probably yes.

To find out, I'd suggest making a copy of the program in question, and use 
the CHGPGM command to make it USRPRF(*USER).  Run it again, as QSECOFR, 
and see if it solves the problem. If it does, you know that the adopted 
authority is what's fouling you up.

If not, you know that there's something else going on.
