This document explains setting up QGPL library *PUBLIC authority.
The QGPL library is shipped with *PUBLIC authority set to *CHANGE.
QGPL stands for General Purpose Library, it's a common use library for users when they are not using their own personal libraries.
The authority is set to *CHANGE because the library is available for everyone's use.
Some possible implication of changing *PUBLIC authority of this library
-----
May cause errors and some failures in host server related jobs. One example is QZDASRVSD (database host server) in the QSERVER subsystem, which has been seen to receive many instances of message CPF1887 "Error occurred changing IPL attributes and also message CPIAD07 RC5 "Starting of the host server job failed.
Changing *PUBLIC authority to more restrictive may seen above errors and other unpredictable results might occur.

Also, noted from IBM InfoCenter
Caution should be used when changing the public authority on IBM-supplied objects. For example, changing the public authority on the QSYSOPR message queue to be more restrictive than *CHANGE will cause some system programs to fail. The system programs will not have enough authority to send messages to the QSYSOPR message queue. For more
