Hi Peter,

I think you may have not followed your guru's instructions correctly, or
maybe he is not such a guru after all:)
You will still need the original capabilities (the little two letter
sequences).

The command to alter the group to add "PH" and "PM" should have been
something like:


altgroup yourgroup;cap=+ph,pm


help altgroup all    -   is very useful and explains how to add/remove
capabilities


To fix this you need to add back the original capabilities, for a group the
are by default "IA" and "BA"

So this would be

altgroup yourgroup;cap=+ia,ba

However if you had other capabilities you will need to add them also.

I assume the account you are working with already has "PM" added.

 I've been working around a problem with c89 by logging in as
manager.sys but I'd like to fix that before I hand this project over.

With my own account I can't run a hello world C program created by c89
in "sh".  If I log in as manager.sys, the program works.

I'd done a search in the archives and found someone suggesting that I
needed PH or PM capabilities.  "listgroup ...." showed that I didn't
have them.  I've followed some instructions from our MPE guru on how
to add these capabilities.  Now all the other little two letter
sequences have gone from listgroup but I do have "PM" and "PH".  But I
still can't run it.

This is what happens -

$ cd /tmp
$ ./Z

**** EXEC FUNCTION FAILED; subsys =517; info = 48
ABORT: /tmp/Z
NM SYS   a.01003770 dbg_abort_trace+$28
NM UNKN  cf.010248e8
NM UNKN  1f6.0004dfb4
[1] + Done(134) ./Z
  17563730
Abort
./Z
$$

Any ideas?

Peter
