OK, OK! I concede.

I just remembers (maybe not too clearly) that either a program or the user
could have the required capabilities, and they could be added to the program
with MPEX or LINKEDIT.

It does seem unlikely that even MPEX can add a "user" attribute to a
program.

Yes. From MPEX "help":

CHANGING PROGRAM FILES' CAPABILITIES (;CAP=)

Syntax:   %ALTFILE fileset;CAP={[+|-][IA,BA,PH,PM,MR,DS]}

Examples: %ALTFILE AP010P; CAP=+PH,DS
          %ALTFILE @.UTIL.SYS(ISPROG); CAP=-PM,PH,MR,+DS
---

So all you need do is %ALTFILE PING.group.account;CAP=+NA,NM

HTH,
Patrick
