Paul, I don't think this is entirely accurate. Can you elaborate?

I have library(TEST) where user WEAKUSER has been granted *EXCLUDE from the 
library object. I have the following TESTCL CLP:

  dsplib TEST

  crtdupobj  FILE TEST  *file  TEST FILEx  data(*YES)

The CLP is usrprf(*OWNER) and *PUBLIC *USE; I am the owner and library TEST is 
all mine. WEAKUSER also has explicit *EXCLUDE from FILE.

When WEAKUSER runs TESTCL without usrprf(*OWNER), it fails immediately at the 
dsplib with CPF2182, Not authorized to library TEST. But usrprf(*OWNER) lets it 
run to completion with no errors. FILEX is created and WEAKUSER is the owner -- 
of course, there's now nothing that WEAKUSER can do with it.

I have a second file in TEST that I'm not authorized to. If I change the 
crtdupobj to reference that file, then TESTCL fails at crtdupobj.

Are there further issues?
