Lawn seed? Now that is funny. But as a vendor if he did throw out adopted programs like lawn seed he could then expand his business into mowers and trimmers! :)
If he doesn't want to have a secured program that adopts enough authority to run the RTVSYSINF command he can always adopt the necessary authority by swapping profiles.
If he doesn't want to install something on the i he can do a profile swap in java to obtain the needed authority. Here's an example from IBM on how to do it.
Example: Using a profile token credential to swap the OS/400 thread identity
Note: Read the Code example disclaimer for important legal information.
The following code example shows you how to use a profile token credential to swap the OS/400 thread identity and perform work on behalf of a specific user:
// Prepare to work with the local AS/400 system.
AS400 system = new AS400("localhost", "*CURRENT", "*CURRENT");
// Create a single-use ProfileTokenCredential with a 60 second timeout.
// A valid user ID and password must be substituted.
ProfileTokenCredential pt = new ProfileTokenCredential();
pt.setSystem(system);
pt.setTimeoutInterval(60);
pt.setTokenType(ProfileTokenCredential.TYPE_SINGLE_USE);
pt.setToken("USERID", "PASSWORD");
// Swap the OS/400 thread identity, retrieving a credential to
// swap back to the original identity later.
AS400Credential cr = pt.swap(true);
// Perform work under the swapped identity at this point.
// Swap back to the original OS/400 thread identity.
cr.swap();
// Clean up the credentials.
cr.destroy();
pt.destroy();
Under the "Perform work under the swapped identity at this point" he can run the class CommandCall to run RTVSYSINF.

Gary,
David's a software vendor. He'd have to install a program on the server to do such. Not out of the question, we are using one of the packages from David's employer.
Some customers can get picky about adopted authority. After you've dealt with one vendor who had an adopted authority program of simply CALL QCMD just so the users didn't have to deal with those pesky security admins when he called them to do somethiing; I can appreciate the reluctance of throwing out adopted programs like lawn seed.

David,
Can't you use a program that adopts authority?

I think the RTVSYSINF command is what I need.
Or not ... the RTVSYSINF command is *PUBLIC *EXCLUDE ... so I won't be
able to invoke the command as I intended.
I guess the manual method will have to be used. :(
