RE: Regarding Object Authority - Something strange

When we think deep into what SEU may be doing...it makes sense
I tried with all possible values of AUT.
Most optimum combination for source to be editable was
-------------------------------------------
OPR = 'X' WITH (read = 'x' , write = 'x' , delete = 'x' , update = ' ' ,
execute = 'x')  
MGT = 'X' 
Exist = ' '
Alter = ' '
Ref   = ' '
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
 
 
MGT = X ---- this is required for making copy of any object 
             -SEU may be creating a duplicate copy of this member 
READ = 'X' ----May be SEU is reading the source to copy the records to
the display
Delete = 'x' ---WHEN User gives "file" command -may be it clears all
existing records
Write = 'x' ---and then writes back all modified records
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------
But still could not figure out why execute = 'x'
I thought execute was meant for only programs
 
I made execute alone = ' ' ---the outcome was again "Not authorized to
update member."
