RE: Not authorized to spooled file - CPF3492

Jim -

You're right, it would appear that it should be working.  Try these tests:

1.)  (Temporarily)Give QPGMR *ALLOBJ and *SPLCTL authority.  If this works
then your user is adopting authority properly and you need to work on
QPGMR's authority to the spooled files, Outq's or whatever.

2.)  (Temporarily)Give your user *ALLOBJ and *SPLCTL authority.  If this
works then the adopted authority is not working and you need to recompile
the program.

Once you figure out where the problem is take away *ALLOBJ and *SPLCTL
authority, then grant the specific authorities needed to run your program.

I would think that the *splctl alone would do it.
There is an interesting paragraph in Info Center (search: cpysplf authority
(note it says for dspdta "when the outq created..."
For the Copy Spooled File (CPYSPLF), Display Spooled File (DSPSPLF), and
Send Network Spooled File (SNDNETSPLF) commands, in addition to the four
ways already listed, there is an additional way a user can be authorized. If
DSPDTA(*YES) was specified when the output queue was created, any user with
*USE authority to the output queue will be allowed to run these commands.
The specific authority required is *READ data authority. Copying,
displaying, sending, and moving a file to another output queue by changing
the spooled file can be limited by specifying DSPDTA(*OWNER). Then only the
owner of the spooled file or user with *SPLCTL can perform these operations
on the spooled file.
