RE: Another V6.1 issue: CPF3837

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

We may sound harsh at times but we have you and the industry's interest at 
heart.  Sometimes we don't have the time (or inclination) to word things 
just right.  When we say "Why are you doing it that way?"  we don't always 
mean "What kind of idiot are you?"

May I make a suggestion?  Instead of modifying QPGMR, why don't you assign 
your night jobs to run under a special user profile?  And if that user 
profile just HAS to have *ALLOBJ authority then give it to that, versus 
QPGMR.

Our developers do not have *ALLOBJ on our production machine.  The 
benefits of that are that stuff that works for them should also work for 
the users.  I learned that from day 1 of back when we had as AS400.  Roll 
out new accounting package and not one user could do squat.  The one 
developer who backs me up for Mimix operations has a special user id to be 
used when doing Mimix only.  It has higher authority.

I'm surprised that your users haven't run into an issue when some program 
out there tried CLRPFM or RMVM.  Why not?  Are all files owned by some 
group profile they are a member of?  If so, perhaps this night job should 
be ran by a member of that group also?
