System is v5r4m0.

Just tried to compile the code here:

which is to enable netserver access.

In the CLP is DCLPRCOPT with two parameters. TEXT() and USRPRF(*OWNER)

Does not compile as keywords are not valid with this command.

Only allowed keyword is SUBRSTACK

The error suggesting that the "keywords are not valid" is correctly being issued on v5r4. The document is either incorrectly tagged with v5r4 [unlikely, because the /fix/ for which that program becomes more desirable exists for that release], or more likely, the code sample incorrectly coded a dependency on feature(s) available only since v6r1. They should have separately shown how to implement the effect on a v5r4 system, without including that CL command statement in the source; or possibly better, just implement using the release-agnostic means to compile and change the program object... as described below:

As Buck alludes in his reply:
- remove [or comment with /* */] the DCLPRCOPT line of code from the "RSTNETUSRP.CLLE member" given in that Technical Document 633149683
- compile the program as shown; i.e. using the given CRTBNDCL
- then issue: CHGPGM RSTNETUSRP TEXT('Reset NetServer User') USRPRF(*OWNER)

I don't see a reference to the parameters changing in the documents
I have. I wonder when it changed and how many headaches it created.

The InfoCenter for the specific releases has the documentation:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/cl/dclprcopt.htm
_i Declare Processing Options (DCLPRCOPT) i_
" _Parameters_
..." <-- Only the SUBRSTACK is documented on this release

http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v6r1m0/topic/cl/dclprcopt.htm
_i Declare Processing Options (DCLPRCOPT) i_
"...
The Declare Processing Options (DCLPRCOPT) command lets you define compiler processing options. These options can control the behavior of the compiler or modify the attributes of the program or module object generated by the CL compiler.
...
_Parameters_
..." <-- 12 parameters were added since v5r4; no change flags indicating these are new for the release v6r1 :-(
