RE: Owning USRPRF of an IFS object?

["Gary Monnier" <gary.monnier@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try the Qp0lGetAttr API with attribute array constant 11 -
QP0L_ATTR_AUTH: The public and private authorities associated with the
object.  Since the IFS does not honor adopted authority you will still
have to process under a profile with at least read rights to the object.
Switching to an *ALLOBJ authority profile within your job should do the
trick.

Subject: Owning USRPRF of an IFS object?


I keep running into brick walls on this!

Is there a simple way, WITHOUT having to be running under 
a privileged account, for an ILE program to get the USER 
PROFILE NAME (NOT the numeric UID!) of the owner of an IFS 
object? Or the USER PROFILE NAME associated with a UID?

Or even better, the last user to modify a particular IFS 
object?

This is really starting to give me a headache. First, I 
look into using the chown() API to set the owner to 
whatever user is modifying a *STMF, only to find it only 
works if you're prived, or if you're the owner of the 
object. So then, since every change to the *STMFs in 
question involves rewriting the whole thing, I try 
deleting the *STMF before writing it. That solves the 
problem of SETTING the owner to whoever changed the file, 
but not of GETTING the *USRPRF.
