RE: What is the effect of removing *ALL from system value QALWUSRDMN?

The program is using QUSPTRUS to get the user space pointer.  In that
case removing the *ALL entry is not going to work for me.  I just have
to change the program to delete the existing user space in QTEMP before
create it again.

It just seems weird for system to move the existing object in QTEMP to
QRPLOBJ lib.  What is the purpose of this action?

I am not sure what security risk they are trying to guard against.  I do
know that if you create a user space in a library that is not in this
system value, then you cannot use QUSPTRUS on it.  You would have to use
QUSRTVUS.  Once you get over pointer phobia and use QUSPTRUS one would
never go back to QUSRTVUS.  Using QUSRTVUS makes about as much sense as
if IBM dropped the ADD and the + capabilities in RPG and required you to
call some api passing several parameters like factor1, factor2, result,
and the error code data structure.
