We had a similar problem, not only with PC programs but also with queries and 
user-written programs.  We resolved the problem by creating a CL program to 
grant object authority to specific users with the need to access MAPICS files 
outside of MAPICS.  This "authority" program runs as a job schedule entry each 
weekend, revoking authority to all files, then re-establishing authority to 
allow for users that have left or changed.  We have been doing this for many 
years, and although it is sometimes a hassle to keep this Cl current, it has 
worked very well.

Subject: Authority to Mapics Files from PC programs [adr]


   Hi all:

    

   We have started developing many PC programs that access Mapics Files via
   ODBC & SQL. The users who use these PC programs are also Mapics Users.
   Therefore, they already have atleast 'Read' access to Popular Mapics
   files. But when the same users are trying to access the files from PC
   programs, they get the following error message:

   *** START ***

   General SQL error.

   [IBM][Client Access Express ODBC Driver [32-bit][DB2/400 SQL]SQL0551 - Not
   authorized to object ITEMASA in AMFLIBQ type *FILE.

   ***END***

   How to deal with this problem?

   Thanks in advance.

    

   Regards,
