Re: Authority needed by command...

Dennis,

First, I would like to apologize for my post. I didn't want to appear
facetious. I'm afraid that my lame attempts to a joke do not translate well
into English (my native language is Spanish).

I don't know what the English text for CPF9802 is. In Spanish, it states
clearly that the user does not have the appropriate authority over the
object being journaled. Loosely translated, it goes: "The user does not have
authority over the object &2 in &3".

And, yes, I DO use F14, only to be able to browse it easier with WRKSPLF (I
can search a spool file, something that is missing when using help).
Fortunately, I only waste virtual trees...

Again, my apologies.

regards,

I didn't realize that my practice of browsing the web was endangering
trees.
I'll try to be more careful in the future.

Seriously, using help has the advantage of showing the
latest
info on the command (or at least the one that applies to the release
you are
using).

Yes. And if you had tried this you would have seen that the answer to the
question is not there. You'd have discovered this after paging through
about 200 pages of "help" not related to the issue, and without search
ability. (Don't tell me about F14=Print help or I'll complain that *you*
are destroying trees. ;) )

In the case of the msgid CPF9802, it explains that you need
authorization on the object you are referring to...

True. It said that the user did not have the needed authority to journal
<lib>/<jrn>. This was not true. What was true, was that the DSPJRN was
done with (default) FILE(*ALLFILE) specified, and the user did not have
authority to one of the files associated with the journal. We solved it by
asking the user to request entries only for the file that was interesting
at
the moment.
