RE: authority question....

This seems simple enough...  Display all the object names
from the library list into an outfile, then CHKOBJ on each
one to see which one this group of users is authorized to.
The first one you find that you're authorized to, OVRDBF,
and execute on it.

Here's a sample - be forewarned that I used Outlook as by
editor, so the syntax may be close, but is not likely to be
flawless production level code :)



PGM

DCLF MyFileList

DSPOBJD *LIBL/TestFile OBJTYPE(*FILE) +   
 OUTFILE(QTEMP/MyFileList)

ReadLoop:
RCVF 
MONMSG CPF0864 GOTO(Error)

CHKOBJ OBJ(ODOBLB/OBODOB)OBJTYPE(*FILE) AUT(*USE)
   MONMSG CPF9802 GOTO(ReadLoop)

OVRDBF TestFile ODOBLB/OBODOB
CALL  MyApp

Error:
/* Do something here */


DLTOVR TestFile 

ENDPGM
