RE: Meaning of Certain Values in APG30PHY and APG55PHY.

Thanks to all who've responded to my email yesterday.  This seems to be a 
timely topic with the advent of SOX.

As I emailed the list yesterday, I also opened and AnswerLink case on this as 
well and wanted to share the helpful response I received there.  It contains a 
note regarding the logic I proposed (the text below regarding the "environment 
code" [CUSC in my logic]).

"Kevin,

You are correct on all counts if your users are strictly using the Green 
Screens and not Explorer! All three items that you detailed above [in my 
previous email:KB] are absolutely correct. Good analysis! 

If your users are using Explorer, then you need to stay with the APG30PHY file 
only because with Explorer, you are not authorizing options via menus.

Also be careful whether the users are using menus that are in a strict 
environment code, or whether they are using the blank environment. The 
infrastructure programs will attempt to find the authority in the specified 
environment FIRST. If not there, then it will walk back to the blank 
environment. If authority is there in the blank environment, then the user is 
authorized.

There is a report that you can run that will tell you all of this by user. I 
know your report sorts by menu/option rather than by user, but would either be 
satisfactory for your auditors? If so, take the easier way and run the report 
from the available options inside STRM400. I would suggest that you take one 
user to begin with and run the available report. Then run your custom version 
and make certain that you get the same results. Once you do, then you can be 
certain that it's correct and go ahead and run it for all users.
