RE: RMTCMD Anomaly????

Excuse me, but if CA bypasses OS/400 object authority when doing downloads,
why is it not possible to download MAPICS data in a vanilla MAPICS
installation unless the user profile has *ALLOBJ authority?  MAPICS files as
installed have user *PUBLIC authority set to *EXCLUDE, so it would appear
that CA must be respecting object authority in this instance.  This has been
true at least since V1R2 in 1990, and was also true on the /38 since roughly
"the beginning of time".

I don't know what your problem was in '98, but there are a number of
plausible explanations for it (*PUBLIC *USE, group profile ownership,
*ALLOBJ authority, etc.).  The assertion that CA data transfer bypasses or
bypassed object authority is not one of them.
