Alan and Rory,
I've never had to use adopted authority, and I may have gotten lost in the thread. Got a question, anyway.
If USERA is running PGMA in LIBA (with adopted authority suitable for the file), and the file/table exists in LIBB (to which USERA is *Exclude), would the program be able to access the file? Would a USROPN or a system-open make any difference?

My understanding was that the addlible was in the cl program and the adopted owner authority would come into play If the addlible was outside of the CL program, then yes you are correct

Alan,
If a user has *EXCLUDE authority to a library, then they can't even add it to their library list. Personally, I think this is more likely to lead to problems elsewhere (an ADDLIBLE command in a CL program failing, for instance). Having *USE authority to the *LIB itself shouldn't be a problem, as long as the files in the library are suitably controlled, authority-wise.
That's just me, though.

Lets say the USERS user profile is FREDBLOGGS
The object owners user profile is ONEANDONLY
Then as far as the library authority is concerned FREDBLOGGS is
*EXCLUDE ONEANDONLY is *USE
