RE: ILE PGM getting authority error when it does have authority

Rob,

Boy, I must have hit a hot button. :)

Our tests are not invalid just incomplete. They work for *ALLOBJ authority now do they work for profiles with lesser authority and then lesser still, etc.

Gary,

I wouldn't use WRKOBJ. Watch this:
CRTPF FILE(ROB/HIDDEN) RCDLEN(10)
GRTOBJAUT OBJ(ROB/HIDDEN) OBJTYPE(*FILE) USER(*PUBLIC) AUT(*EXCLUDE) CRTUSRPRF USRPRF(DUMMY) USRCLS(*USER) SPCAUT(*NONE) sign on as dummy ADDLIBLE LIB(ROB) POSITION(*FIRST) WRKOBJ OBJ(*LIBL/HIDDEN) (Cannot find object to match specified name.) This would lead you to assume that it doesn't exist. However, DSPOBJD OBJ(*LIBL/HIDDEN) OBJTYPE(*FILE)
CPF2189 - Not authorized to object HIDDEN in ROB type *FILE.

Those of us routinely running under *ALLOBJ forget the trials and tribulations of those that aren't. As such, our tests are invalid.
