Creating objects

You can specify the authority of a new object.

When you create a new object, you can either specify the authority (AUT) or use the default, *LIBCRTAUT. If PGMR1 enters this command:

CRTDTAARA (TESTLIB/DTA1) +
   TYPE(*CHAR)

the authority for the data area looks like this:

 
                           Display Object Authority
 
Object . . . . . . :   DTA1        Owner  . . . . . . . :   PGMR1
  Library. . . . . :   TESTLIB     Primary group  . . . :   *NONE
Object type. . . . :   *DTAARA     ASP device . . . . . :   *SYSBAS
 
Object secured by authorization list. . . . . . . . . . :   OBJLST
 
                        Object
User        Group       Authority
*PUBLIC                 *AUTL
PGMR1                   *ALL

The authorization list (OBJLST) comes from the CRTAUT parameter that was specified when TESTLIB was created.

If PGMR1 enters this command:

CRTDTAARA (TESTLIB/DTA2) AUT(*CHANGE) +
   TYPE(*CHAR)

the authority for the data area looks like this:

 
                           Display Object Authority
 
Object . . . . . . :   DTA2       Owner  . . . . . . . :   PGMR1
  Library  . . . . :   TESTLIB    Primary group  . . . :   *NONE
Object type. . . . :   *DTAARA    ASP device . . . . . :   *SYSBAS
 
Object secured by authorization list . . . . . . . . . :   *NONE
 
                        Object
User        Group       Authority
*PUBLIC                 *CHANGE
PGMR1                   *ALL
