We've written a program to walk through every object in a library and re-align the security for every object in the library. It only changes 1 object at a time, but it does need to get a lock on the object. We create 2 authorization lists per library-- one for programs, display files, print files, and other non-data objects; and one for data-holding objects. For each object, we revoke all existing authority, point it to the proper authorization list, the grant *PUBLIC authority to the *AUTL.

The basic program does a DSPOBJD library/*ALL to an outfile, then reads that file and processes each object retrieved. You can use all of the object attributes, to determine if a file is a data holder, or just a display file.
