Re: Authority needed by command...

[Luis Rodriguez <luisro58@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dennis,

First, I would like to apologize for my post. I didn't want to appear
facetious. I'm afraid that my lame attempts to a joke do not translate well
into English (my native language is Spanish).

I don't know what the English text for CPF9802 is. In Spanish, it states
clearly that the user does not have the appropriate authority over the
object being journaled. Loosely translated, it goes: "The user does not have
authority over the object &2 in &3".

And, yes, I DO  use F14, only to be able to browse it easier with WRKSPLF (I
can search a spool file, something that is missing when using help).
Fortunately, I only waste virtual trees...

Again, my apologies.

regards,

Luis Rodriguez
