Re: EDTOBJAUT in CL program?

Hi Jim,

The command you're looking for is GRTOBJAUT. But as you point out, a CL
program using this command would have to adopt authority anyway, so why not
simply have the reorg program adopt it? That's actually safer, because
having a general purpose CL that grants authority to the files means someone
could run just that program, then fiddle with the files, whereas the reorg
program can only reorg the files.
