Re: Not authorized to __ in library QSYS Object type *SPACE

John

IBM tightened this thing down awhile ago. Here are the authorities from the API description:

Authorities and Locks
API Public Authority
*EXCLUDE
QSYS Library Authority
*CHANGE
User Space Authority
*CHANGE
User Space Library Authority
*USE
User Space Lock
*EXCLRD

Note the need for *CHANGE authorization to library QSYS. You don't just want to hand that out, so you probably need either to swap to QSECOFR (or another profile with enough authority) before calling the API, or have QSECOFR (or that other profile) own the program and use USRPRF(*OWNER). We do something like this in our CD-ROM Studio premastering product.

I have been using a program we have to make AS/400 CD's that involves the
IBM program  QLPCDRST

Everything works fine until I started using a different User Profile. This
new User profile does not have as

much authority as the original one I was using. But with a message like this
it is hard for me to determine what

I do not have authority to. Since there appears to be more then one space
after "object" it appears the object name is blank

I can go back and use the original profile and everything works fine. Since
it has Security Officer, ALLOBJ etc I would expect it to work.

Has anyone seen this message before or can anyone point me to the problem.

Message ID . . . . . . : CPF9802 Severity . . . . . . . : 40

Message type . . . . . : Escape

Date sent . . . . . . : 07/22/03 Time sent . . . . . . : 12:39:06

Message . . . . :   Not authorized to object  in QSYS.
Cause . . . . . :   You do not have the correct authority for object  in
  library QSYS type *SPACE.

Thanks in advance for your help

John
