Let's try
WRKHDWRSC TYPE(*PRC)
What's the first entry under "Type-model"? In my case it is 9009-42A.
Basically I am trying to see if there's a chance you can upgrade the OS to
a newer version which will be better at supporting some suggestions I have
in mind.

I've discovered that when the company bought their new machine in 2013,
they suddenly started having problems with user authorities and found it
necessary to add *ALLOBJ to All the user profiles!!
I'm guessing it was QSECURITY that changed and new users didn't have the
authority necessary
What those authorities are I don't yet know
I was looking for a command to extract all the authorities on the system
but that doesn't look that easy.
Then I thought why not create a user profile with no special authorities
and see how it affects me when I use it.

I'll give you an example. Here it was discovered that the users had an
initial program which jumped them directly into our ERP package. They
also
had limited capabilities set to yes, which basically means no command
line. They had no special authority. However, instead of their initial
menu being *SIGNOFF it was set to QSYS/MAIN. Actually this is a current
issue I'll get around to one of these days...

MAIN
4. Files, libraries, and folders
...
6. Query Utilities
7. Data File Utility (DFU)

4. Files, libraries, and folders
1. Files
1. Work with files
File . . . . . . . . . . . . . . *ALL
Library . . . . . . . . . . . ERPLXF
4=Delete

Yet another reason we are going to implement "Application Only Access".

This may be a silly question, but I'll ask anyway: why not just let the
program check the user id before allowing any particular level of
access
to
the files? I'm guessing that in this situation, that may be necessary,
given the fact that everyone has special authority *ALLOBJ.


Because the fact that users have *ALLOBJ means they don't have to use a
program to read/change/delete data...or even the program objects.

If you don't already have this book, I highly recommend it.
