An application we wrote takes a normal database file and creates an EXCEL
.xls STMF into a directory on the IFS called EXCEL. The java program is
called from a central CLP to convert ebcdic to excel.

Once the .xls is created, the CLP executes a CPY command (parameters were,
at one time or another, *replace with *keep or *new) to create a version of
file into the QDLS directory, folder named EXCEL. This is done because our
e-mailing software requires the attachments to originate out of QDLS.

Problem we are having is in the CPY command...it keeps failing due to
authority problems and nobody has been able to figure out why.

Try doing a wrkflr, and option 14 (authority). As I recall, document library objects (QDLS) have their own version of object security, which I think has little to do with OS400 security. BTW, I've been told that QDLS is going away very soon. I'm not sure if that's just doom and gloom hype.
