Thank you to all that responded, what I have done is used the supplemental
groups to allow more than one group profile.  I realize we are very
vunerable to ODBC, FTP..etc. as far as security goes with using group
profiles with access to data files, but since out programs are a software
package we can not modify every program to use adoptive authority.  

With the chglibl I had to list out the library list I wanted to bring in,
is there any way to bring in the list that is specified on a jobd?  I just
do not want to end up having to remember to modify a couple of places when
our library lists change, as we add new softwares.

Where do I look to find the parms needed for API's, and/or descriptions of
ones available?
