RE: CHGOWN Problem

["Phil" <sublime78ska@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, but there's no need to add a jobscde.  You can do it with the SBMJOB
command:

SBMJOB CMD(CHGOWN OBJ('/newfolder') NEWOWN(QMSF) RVKOLDAUT(*NO))
USER(ALLAUTH)

You can't use QSECOFR in this case - you'll need to use a non-system profile
that has sufficient authority.

There is a risk here:  Who ever has authority to the sbmjob command and to
the user profile in USER can also submit other commands to batch using the
authority of the user in USER.  That could be a bad thing depending on your
environment.  This is especially important when using QSECOFR.  I wouldn't
do that.  I would look at creating a user profile that has the least amount
of authority to do the job.
