By default, the program has the authority of the user that runs it, but you can change that so the program will adopt the owner's authority. That is very usefull because you can create ficticius user for each application and adopt their autority. This way the files can be used only through the programs that you explicitly change to be owned by that user, and to adopt "his" authority.

Hi all,

I have always thought that a program has the object authority of the user that compiles the program. Is this wrong?

I have a program that uses the System API to run CLRPFM, CPYTOPCD, and RMVLNK in an RPGLE program. Works perfect when I run the program but now that the users are testing I am getting authority messages when they submit the job. Does the program receive it's object authority from the user or can you compile a program to always have a specific level of authority? Would it matter if I use QCMDEXE instead?

Thanks
