In 6.1 command CPYFRMSTMF was changed; the database file member is
accessed through its IFS path, instead of as a library object. One
annoying side effect of this 'enhancement' is that adopted authority is
no longer in effect.
In order to overcome this problem I made a wrapper around CPYFRMSTMF
that does the following:
- Check whether current user has sufficient authority for the member
- If not, walk through the call stack to see if adopted authority is in
effect
- If an authority adopting program is found, switch to the user profile
of the owner of the program
- Execute the CPYFRMSTMF
- If switched, switch back to the original profile
All is fine if the current user has *USE authority for the owner
profile, but QSYGETPH (Get Profile Handle) fails with CPF22E9 if current
user has insufficent authority, even if the user with whose authority we
are running does have *USE authority for his own profile.
It appears that QSYGETPH, although the *PGM object does have Use Adopted
Authority 'Y'es, ignores adopted authority when accessing a user profile.
Does anyone have experience with this phenomenon? Or a different
explanation?
