Half of those commands were commands commonly used in debugging a program. 
 Hopefully that level of access is no longer needed (it was a V4R3 source, 
right?).

I wonder if a clue would be anything with QSRV listed as having access
DSPOBJAUT OBJ(STRSST) OBJTYPE(*CMD)

There is a WRKOBJOWN command but I don't see a WRKOBJUSR command.

I happened to notice that the security of a person who used to be in the
I.T. department still has the special authority of *SERVICE.  My hunch is
that they don't need this anymore.  What actually does this give them?
Access to SST?  Both the help text and Infocenter say "Service authority 
is
granted to this user.  The user can perform service functions."  That's
like saying my cat can walk on four legs because he has four legs.  I
didn't find anything in the archives.  Thanks.

RE: Special Authority *SERVICE






The number of profiles (let alone users) with *SERVICE authority on any
given system should be relatively low.  If you can't think of a reason
why a person needs *SERVICE, remove it until a reason presents itself.

If the person is in IT, I would doubt that the reason ever presents
itself.

We're having an issue with CPYFRMIMPF, on V5R2. When we receive character
data such as "1 1/2"" 90 DEG ELL PVC SCH 80", only "1 1/2" appears in the
database file. I thought there was a PTF to fix this. This is a vendor's
standard extract file that we can't touch (remote SQL server system we don't

This person should not be debugging programs.  I'm the one who would do
that or possibly my boss, and he would probably ask me to do it.  This
person works with EDI.  Eric's previous message said that it could be used

Hello all,

We need to run a chewck on specific port numbers every so often.

The Client Access - CWBPING facility will do this for us at V5R3

>From the "Windows Command Prompt" we can run the command . . . :  CWBPING 
servername /port:# ] 
and we just look at the results

However the requirement is to run as part of a CL program, to run in batch 
and to be able to read the "message results"

- - - - - - -

As a side note 

In the past we have used the TCP/IP API QtocLstNetCnn,  NCNN0100 Format
But we discovered that the information pertaining to the TCP/IP state is 
not reliable.
If the API tells me that it is listening, this does not guarantee a 
connection

Oh, I agree with you, and the general idea that you should remove it and 
see if a need arises.

I just wondered if any programmer who did debugging would need *SERVICE
