Re: Security Question

You may have more than one PWRDWNSYS command existing on your system, with one of them a user-created command. Issue the command as QSYS/PWRDWNSYS and see what happens.

I just tried a small test.

I created a brand new profile called "sample" with the class being
*sysopr. The system also added *jobctl and *savsys for some reason.

I signed on with the new "sample" profile.

Exact same result as prior message.

From the help on PWRDWNSYS:

Restrictions: 1. To run this command, the user must have job control (*JOBCTL) authority.
Now, QSYSOPR on our machines has *JOBCTL. Does yours?
