Re: LIBRARY/file security QUESTION

["Simon Coulter" <shc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Michael,

I have seen a response to this yet.  I believe it will work.  Logical files now 
contain data rights (since 
V3R1 ? a while anyway).  It is possible to view and update data in a physical 
file for which you have no 
authority though a logical which does provide authority.  I don't think the 
different libraries are an issue.

Hoever, in this case I'd just suck it and see.  Create the logical and test it 
with DFU.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
