I'm pretty sure you only need *USE authority now, at least for ILE
programs. The rule about needing *CHANGE was relaxed a few releases
ago.

Drat. I've carefully read the Memo to Users for every release and I
missed that.


TWiMC, I just ran across a doc link [searching for something entirely unrelated] which seems to suggest otherwise. Someone more aware of the specifics may wish to click the /Send feedback/ button on the top of the page to request a correction, if indeed the doc is in error. To be clear, that means I will not be submitting such a request:

"...
9. In OPM, the formatted dump can be performed when a programmer has *USE authority to the program. In ILE, the formatted dump requires *CHANGE authority to the program or service program."

FWiW I find the use of /programmer/ in that context to be misleading; or at least I infer the intention is to suggest that the invoker, the /user/ of the program, is required to have the noted authority via either public, private, [supplemental] group, or special authority.?

If the difference exists\remains, perhaps worded instead as:
"9. The formatted dump performed for an OPM program requires the user profile to have *USE authority to the program. For an ILE program or service program, *CHANGE authority is required."
