Re: Meaning of Certain Values in APG30PHY and APG55PHY.

Kevin, 
we have been through this and I have a program created.  
If you would like to contact me I would be glad to share it with you.

Auditors! Again!

I'm trying to simplify the process of determining who has authority to
what and I'm writing a program that will essentially create a matrix by
Menu of menu options' text as rows and users authorized to them as
columns with an "X" (or some such indication) at the intersection to
signify a particular user is authorized to a particular menu option.  In
looking at the APG55PHY and APG30PHY files I've seen values that I'm not
sure what they mean.  Can anyone advise me?  My questions:

1.  In APG55PHY there are entries with "*" in FORO55 (function or
option) and "**" in MOPT55 (menu option).  I have verified that there is
never an entry with a "*" in FORO55 where there is not also a "**" in
MOPT55.  Given that these are at the menu/application/release/customer
code level, does the presence of such a record mean that regardless of
what records may or may not exist in APG30PHY, a user is authorized to
ALL the options on that particular menu?

2.  Similarly, in APG30PHY, there are entries with "****" in the FUNC55
value (task code).  Because this file is at the
application/release/customer code level, do these mean that the user is
authorized to ALL functions of that application/release/customer code
regardless of what menu the function might be on?  If not, what is the
meaning of this type of entry?

3.  Assuming FORO55 = "O", given a selected user (USER), menu (MENU),
menu option (MOPT), for an application (APPL) at a specific release
level (RLSL) and for a given customer code (CUSC), and knowing the task
(FUNC) associated with that menu option, is the logic to determine if
that user is authorized to that MENU/OPTION/APPL/RLSL/CUSC as follows:

    a.  fetch APG55PHY using USER,MENU,MOPT,APPL,RLSL,FUNC as a key.
    b.  if found: user is authorized.
    c.  else
    d.    fetch APG55L00 using
USER,MENU,FORO='*',MOPT='**',APPL,RLSL,FUNC as a key.
    e.    if found: user is authorized.
    f.    else
    g.       fetch APG30PHY using USER,APPL,RLSL,FUNC='****' as key.
    h.       if found: user is authorized.

For any help you can provide, TIA!

==Kevin
