Hi Dennis,

There are several reasons this could be happening - the fact is that if you
have Newi version 2.2.65 (which is the version that the March 6002 cume
contained), then this authority is required. How you go about giving it out
is another question - there are many ways to grant this.

1. What authority does the profile who starts the job have on each system?
Is it possible you gave your V4R4 QPGMR more authority, such as *ALLOBJ?

2. Are the Newi versions the same on both systems (do some DSPPGM to compare
source dates).

3. If the user profile which starts the jobs does not have *ALLOBJ
authority, check the objects themselves (QSYGETPH and QWTSETP) to see if
they were made PUBLIC *USE or PUBLIC *CHANGE, in which case this would also
would have gotten around the problem for you, and would not require specific
authority to be set.
4. Do you have an authorization list set up on the 2 objects which is
granting authority to the profile which is starting this up?

There should be no difference in the way the operating system works, unless
those system objects were delivered with a different authority level on the
new release to begin with. However I checked our V4R4 system and the
authority that is required for PUBLIC on these 2 objects has not changed
with OS release level.

Thanks
