RE: chgobjown

There are limits to the size of a user profile, including the list of objects owned by it. These have gone up in recent releases, so there might not be a problem. Still, I believe it is recommended that no single profile owns everything on a system. And that it should not be QSECOFR, IIRC. Consider this - if a program were owned by QSECOFR, any user with adequate authority only has to change it to run as *OWNER and thereby gain all the authority of QSECOFR. 

There is a KB article on user profile size at

Everything on our system is owned by QSECOFR, so we don't normally run into
this. We do try to make the scheduled jobs run under QSYSOPR, and there are
a few special report programs that run under an actual user's profile. In
those cases, we have a data area with the profile it is to run under, and we
just change that rather than changing the CL program.
