Yes, as I found out after I removed adopted authority (see below).

You nailed it, Charles!  The program is created using all of the default
parameters and has the following attributes:

  User profile . . . . . . . . *OWNER
  Use adopted authority  . . . *YES

Our CRT*PGM commands default to USRPRF(*OWNER).  Hmmm.  I think I need to
look into this a little more.

Thanks for helping me find this!
