RE: Object authority

 Please, Have a look at the following extract,

Specifies whether the authority checking done while this  
program is running includes only the user who is running  
the program (*USER) or both the user running the program  
and the program owner (*OWNER).  The profiles of the      
program user or both the program user and the program     
owner are used to control which objects can be used by the
program, including the authority the program has for each 
object.  Only the program owner or a user with QSECOFR    
authority can change the user profile attribute.          

The above is the help text for the USRPRF paramaeter of CRTPGM command.

HTH,

Subject: Object 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
