RE: Cpy file command copy the authority

Use adopted authority.  Ensure the owner of the programs using
QTEMP/DupOfFILEA has enough authority to use DupOfFILEA.  Here are the
steps.

1. Create program with the user profile parm set to *OWNER.
2. Change the program owner to be a profile with enough authority to use

   DupOfFILEA.

This assumes the program using DupOfFILEA won't grant unwanted authority
to the user.  You know, if the program has a command line you will want
to do the following.

1.  After the CPYF of LIBA/FILEA to QTEMP/DupOfFILEA grant *PUBLIC *ALL
rights.
    GRTOBJAUT OBJ(QTEMP/DupOfFILEA) OBJTYPE(*FILE) USER(*PUBLIC)
AUT(*ALL)

Below is the problem that I'm encountering:
1) I have a file FILEA in production lib LIBA that user only have *use
auth.
2) A program is suppose to use cpyf command to dup it to qtemp and
adding data the this qtemp file.  It failed because the auth setting got
copied over.

Other than using sql or save and restore, is there any other easier way
to go around this problem?

Yes.  Before copying I did a WRKOBJ and added a different profile at the
bottom.  After the CPYF the new person was in the new file.
