Re: Object authority issue

*EXECUTE rights is one of those things added later in the AS/400's life.
And frankly, I've never quite grasped the reason for it, although I guess I
know one now (grin).

IMHO, assigning *USE rights to a Database File is the way to go generally to
assign "read-only" rights to a file.  I'm not sure why someone would revoke
*EXECUTE rights which gives slightly less than *USE rights.  I can't see why
anyone would try to hide a file from a library search, but assuming you know
it's there, you would have sufficient data rightas to get at it.  Odd ...

Okay - 

That is what I have observed.  I would also like to know if this is 'working
as designed' or is a bug.  Maybe I'll fire off a note to George Farr...

Thanks for all your input!
