Re: Add a value to a multi-entry parameter

Of Course TAATOOL has a command :-)

Add Special Authority - TAA (ADDSPCAUT)

Special authority . . . . . . . _________
User profile . . . . . . . . . . __________
+ for more values __________

<help>
The Add Special Authority command allows the addition of a special
authority to one or more profiles. This is a simpler interface than
CHGUSRPRF which requires an entry for any existing authorities as
well as the new special authority. A RMVSPCAUT command is also
provided to remove a special authority from one or more profiles.

I need to add a SPCAUT value (*JOBCTL in this case) to multiple user
profiles. I do a WRKUSRPRF *ALL and put a '2' next each one that I
want to change, and then I type 'SPCAUT(*JOBCTL)' on the command line
and press Enter and - guess what - it stomps over all the existing
SPCAUTs for the selected users and leaves them with only *JOBCTL.

I had long wished for the support to do that with a plus-sign, for
example:

SPCAUT(+*JOBCTL) /* meaning, add *JOBCTL to whatever is there */
