Re: Restricting Nosey Users Message Access

Hello Chuck,

To disallow *PUBLIC to see messages in a message queue but still be able to 
send messages to it, set *PUBLIC authority to *CHANGE and remove read data 
authority. 

- And check that the user profile relating to the message queue has *ALL 
authority to avoid problems on that account.

Here's a small CL program that will do it for a single user profile message 
queue:

/*-- Compile instructions: ------------------------------------------*/
/*-- USRPRF(*OWNER) and transfer ownership to QSECOFR                */

/*-- Parameters:  ---------------------------------------------------*/
     Pgm        &UsrPrf

     Dcl        &UsrPrf      *Char     10

/*-- Global variables:  ---------------------------------------------*/
     Dcl        &MsgQ        *Char     10
     Dcl        &MsgQlib     *Char     10
     Dcl        &UsrPrf      *Char     10

     Dcl        &MsgKey       *Char     4      '    '
     Dcl        &ToCalStkE    *Char    38

     ChgVar     %Sst( &ToCalStkE   5 20 )     '*NONE     *NONE      '
     ChgVar     %Bin( &ToCalStkE  25  4 )      10
     ChgVar     %Sst( &ToCalStkE  29 10 )     '*PGMBDY   '
