Re: DSPAUT OBJ('/QSYS.LIB') versus DSPOBJAUT OBJ(QSYS) TYPE(*LIB)

Hi Mark:

v5r4.

I probably should...but if they "fix" it to work as documented...then
I won't be able to use DSPOBJAUT when I need to as I don't have
*OBJMGT to most of our objects....

So I'm torn... :D

Why would you need to be able to move or rename an object just to see
the current authority set for it? Shouldn't *USE be enough?

I'd love to hear what Chuck or one of the other (former) IBM'ers has to say...

Hi, Charles:

You did not say on what version/release of OS/400 or i5OS you are seeing
this ...

I think you should open a PMR with IBM for this one.

HTH,
Mark

I don't understand how/why I'm getting the following:

DSPOBJAUT OBJ(QSYS) OBJTYPE(*LIB)

Object . . . . . . . :   QSYS
   Library  . . . . . :     QSYS
Object type  . . . . :   *LIB

Object secured by authorization list

                          Object
User        Group       Authority
*PUBLIC                 *USE

DSPAUT OBJ('/QSYS.LIB')
Not authorized to object.  Object is /QSYS.LIB.

I have authority to root
DSPAUT OBJ('/')
Object . . . . . . . . . . . . :   /
Type . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   DIR
Owner  . . . . . . . . . . . . :   QSYS
Primary group  . . . . . . . . :   *NONE
Authorization list . . . . . . :   *NONE

               Data     --Object Authorities--
User        Authority  Exist  Mgt  Alter  Ref
*PUBLIC     *RWX         X     X     X     X

And I can DSPAUT on other libraries....
dspaut OBJ('/QSYS.LIB/C1162332.LIB')

Object . . . . . . . . . . . . :   /QSYS.LIB/C1162332.LIB
Type . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   LIB
Owner  . . . . . . . . . . . . :   C1162332
Primary group  . . . . . . . . :   *NONE
Authorization list . . . . . . :   *NONE

               Data     --Object Authorities--
User        Authority  Exist  Mgt  Alter  Ref
*PUBLIC     *RX
C1162332    *RWX         X     X     X     X


So why can't I DSPAUT OBJ('/QSYS.LIB')???

Thanks!
Charles
