RE: Not authorized to spooled file - CPF3492

["John Earl" <john.earl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Frank,

The reason you were having a problem is that adopted authority does not
travel to batch jobs.  So when you did the SBMJOB, you lost the adopted
authority of the interactive job.  By adopting authority on the batch
job you fixed this problem... for anything that resides in the QSYS.LIB
library system

Unfortunately adopted authority does not work in directory file systems
other than QSYS.LIB.  If you want to do something similar to adopted
authority, you'll have to use the profile swapping or the SETUID API's
to change the current user of your program.  

We have a commercial product that does this, but as you said you are
trying to roll your own, you're going to have to dig into the API's.
