RE: IFS object ownership

Oh. You mean that the PROFILE is set for OWNER(*GRPPRF). That's not
supported by IFS. See
http://forums.systeminetwork.com/isnetforums/showthread.php?t=52787 which
has at least one broken link, but talks about an exit point that may be of
interest to help you out.

IFS files and their APIs for creation, deletion, et cetera follow the
standards set on unix many years ago. One of those standards is that the
owner of any file is the same user who created it, regardless of other
extenuating circumstances. I seem to remember reading same in an IBM
document somewhere, but now I cannot find it.

Our user profiles are all set to *owner = *grpprf but when we use a
tool to create a CSV in the IFS, the user profile actually owns the IFS
file, not the group profile. I have not checked since we upgraded to
V5R4 and since we coded the chgown command into our applications.

Sorry, Chris, but would you mind expounding on this:

The user profile owned the object
even though it was set for group ownership.

Specifically what does it mean to have a file set for group ownership?
And
how did you set this? I suspect a misconception and I'd like to help.
