Hi everybody, This is my first time posting to this list...(although I've been skulking around for the last few months)...I'm also new to MPE so please be patient with me. Here's my scenario... I'm running MPE/IX 5.5 with powerpatch 7. My users have 'OP" capabilities and although they do not have access to the command line...I still want to take the capability away from them. No problem right? Wrong. Two of our users access a customized logon menu that allows them to view all spoolfiles. Usually our Operator will run the jobs and these users view the output. The jobs are run as MGR.AMISYS and the users sign on as USER.AMISYS. If I take away 'OP' they cannot view the spoolfiles...they can only view their own. I was hoping to put a line in the UDC that calls the customized menu. Something along the lines of this... ...(excuse my pseudocode)... IF OWNER OF SPOOLF EQUALS MGR.AMISYS THEN CHANGE OWNER OF SPOOLF TO USER.AMISYS MGR.AMISYS is set up with AM capabilities so everybody (even these two users) should be able to read the spoolfiles...right? I've also thought about the possibility of some form of ALTFILE @.OUT HPSPOOL;OWNER=USER.AMISYS. I don't wan't to change all the spool files though. Unfortunately, I'm not a programmer nor can I find a HP variable that calls the spoolfile's owner. I called HPRC and they suggested a third party solution or digging through some freeware. Does anybody know anything off the top of their head...I can't be the first person to run into this. Any help will be greatly appreciated. TIA
