RE: utility to transfer ownership & authority attributes?

Thanks for the tip!  I hadn't noticed that parameter.  Will REFOBJ
essentially "clean the slate" of all the object authorities of the object
being changed and then grant the authorities of the reference object?  Or do
current authorities not get overridden?  Example: If a current object grants
authorities to QDFTOWN and the reference object does not mention QDFTOWN,
will QDFTOWN lose any specific authorities it had and, therefore, inheirit
*PUBLIC auths?

Not really asking you to do the REFOBJ thing for CHGOBJOWN.  But if this is
an urge you have, go for it! <g>  It seems odd to me that IBM gave us REFOBJ
for GRTOBJAUT but not for CHGOBJOWN.

Well the object authority is simple enough, just use GRTOBJAUT using the
REFOBJ parameter.  As for the CHGOBJOWN, I'd been thinking of writing a
version that could use REFOBJ there as well.  I'll see what I can do.

I'm finding lately that I'm doing a lot of CHGOBJOWN & EDTOBJAUT for
certain
clients when I install new or modified objects.  'Twould be nice if I
could
say, "See the object owner and the object authorities for *this* object?
Make it so on *these* objects."  I'm sure I could whip something up
fairly
quick, but wanted to avoid reinventing the wheel if someone's got
something
out there to share.
