John,

Did you also check the creator of the 'key file'?.  We have had some
problems with the copy command while working on CM KSAM files and it turned
out that the creator of the key file was being 'messed' up.

I wanted to expand the size of a ksam file (cm not nm) so I
used the mpex 'altfile xx;flimit=3D99' command. All looked
fine. I then streamed the job which repopulates the file -- it
promptly failed using ksamutil to erase the file with a
security violation (fserr 93). When I expanded the file
I was the file's creator and the account manager. The
rebuild job users a different user but that user also has
account manager capability. I checked and found no
acd. I used mpex to be double sure by using mpex and
'altfile xx;localgroupid;delacd'.
Still got the security error. Gave up and released the file.

What am I missing? Thanks for any suggestions.
