RE: Another V6.1 issue: CPF3837

The night job is actually ran from within the QSTRUP program. I guess I
could
change the call in a SBMJOB command to use a different user profile than
*CURRENT.

We may sound harsh at times but we have you and the industry's interest
at
heart. Sometimes we don't have the time (or inclination) to word things

just right. When we say "Why are you doing it that way?" we don't
always
mean "What kind of idiot are you?"

May I make a suggestion? Instead of modifying QPGMR, why don't you
assign
your night jobs to run under a special user profile? And if that user
profile just HAS to have *ALLOBJ authority then give it to that, versus
QPGMR.

Our developers do not have *ALLOBJ on our production machine. The
benefits of that are that stuff that works for them should also work for

the users. I learned that from day 1 of back when we had as AS400.
Roll
out new accounting package and not one user could do squat. The one
developer who backs me up for Mimix operations has a special user id to
be
used when doing Mimix only. It has higher authority.

I'm surprised that your users haven't run into an issue when some
program
out there tried CLRPFM or RMVM. Why not? Are all files owned by some
group profile they are a member of? If so, perhaps this night job
should
be ran by a member of that group also?
