Subject: RE: Authority to start a writer at the user level
We have a lot of writers and need to be able to have users control them.
I spoke to Carol Woodbury at a conference about this. She confirmed
that I'd have to use a wrapper to do this if they didn't have all the
authority.
Pick up a copy of her book. There is a good example program by Paul
Tuohy in there that will detail what each user can do on a specific
writer/outq.

User would also either have to have a CL program behind a menu or not be
a limited user.
Curious: What do you not like about a CL running adopted authority?
Certainly could be an issue if the CL contained any command that
provided a command line. But, STRPRTWTR doesn't.

Subject: Authority to start a writer at the user level
Is there any way a user without *SPLCTL and *JOBCTL can start a
printer writer without adopting authority? I've been looking at IBM
Software Technical Document 421165187 which documents the creation of
a CL so a user can start a writer using adopted authority, but before
I take this approach, I want to confirm that if the authority for both
the OUTQ and DEVD is *PUBLIC *ALL and AUTCHK for the outqueue is
*DTAAUT; the user will still not have enough authority to start a
writer.
