Re: LF translation in QSH

[Dennis <iseries@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I should have added my second kicker here:  I am fairly certain I used to be able to run these programs in PASE (where I expect the result will be more suitable).  But alas, when I try to execute it, I get "0403-006 Execute permission denied."  Same thing when I try to execute via /qsys.lib/mylib.lib/mypgm.pgm

ls -l /qsys.lib/mylib.lib/mypgm.pgm shows:
-rwx---r-x   1 (etc)

Some system administration change, maybe?
