Thanks Scott,
I think you are right about this solution being discussed before - the
lightbulb went on when you mentioned QSH.....
Regarding innovation - my sarcasm was directed at people who like long
names, multiple directories, multiple sub-directories, etc. Finding
files and adding appropriate security to the many directories used by a
product like Websphere is a pain. I have whiny WPS administrator that has
a recording stuck on 'give me *ALLOBJ'. Just me bitching in general - you
can ignore my rants. Thanks for the input!

This is (relatively) easy with QShell. For simple changes, you can use
"chmod" or "chown". For more complex work, you'll need to use "find" or
write the list of objects to a file, and process that file from CL.
For example, to give the public read access to everything in the /usr
directory and all of it's subdirectories, do the following:
STRQSH CMD('chmod -R o+r /usr')
To make "quser" the owner of everything in the /var directory, type:
STRQSH CMD('chown -R quser /var')
If you need to do something more complex (like assign an authorization
list) please tell me, and I'll post an appropriate CL program.

I'm pretty sure that this was discussed on Midrange.com at least once
before.

The ability to mass-change permissions isn't an "innovation." It's
certainly not new or particularly original.
