Justin,
Any user with *ALLOBJ can always delete your precious directory, no matter what you do.
"*ALLOBJ" means "all objects" -- including IFS (*STMFs and directories).
This is why it is important to limit the number of user profiles with *ALLOBJ.
Just saying.

My goal is to make a directory that can't be deleted. *READONLY works OK
when I tested it, but I just wanted a sanity check.

Thanks

I do not find any documentation on this. However this testing may answer
that:

MD DIR('/home/ROB/JT')

Directory created.

CHGATR OBJ('/home/ROB/JT') ATR(*READONLY) VALUE(*YES)

Attributes changed for 1 objects. 0 objects not changed.

EDTF STMF('/home/ROB/JT/test.txt')

The EDTF did create the file

DSPF STMF('/home/ROB/JT/test.txt')

The DSPF showed the changes.

There is an attribute called *RSTDRNMUNL you might want to read up on.
