If I might mention...

The reason a lot of folks running S/36E are still on level 20 is that the OCL
creates a TON of files using #GSORT and the like.  Your best bet is to assign
all of your users a single group profile, set the object ownership parameter
at the user profile level to *GRPPRF, grant that group profile *ALL authority
to library QS36F, and change object ownership of all files in QS36F to the
new group profile.  Make sure that you set the initial menu on the group
profile to *SIGNOFF so that persons not specifically authorized cannot sign
on with the profile.

Be sure to set *PUBLIC authority on QS36F to *EXCLUDE so that unauthorized
persons cannot view, download, or update production data.  This should allow
you to remove the *ALLOBJ authority from your user profiles, thus preventing
damage to program or other objects on the system.  If you have programs that
maintain #GSORT specifications in source members, be sure to move these
members to a library by themselves and give the new group profile *ALL
authority and ownership of the source file as well.  You CAN have a secure
system and the /36E as well!
