Re: Who is clearing QSYSOPR

 Tim,
(and for the archives ...)
If you issue EDTOBJAUT QSYSOPR *MSGQ
then remove the "X" from the "Delete" column in the row for "QPGMR" ...
The F-keys still appear on the DSPMSG panel, but if you press them, you get a message that says:
    CPD2419 Not authorized to delete messages.
:D

 I had thought about that.  I'm testing with my own user profile, and 
it's set to *BASIC (for DSPMSG QSYSOPR) on all our systems.

Thanks.
