This will print the description. Hopefully, you can either actually print them or go into iSeries Navigator and drag all of your newly created spool files to your desktop or a folder somewhere. Then delete the spool files.

These being on ‘their’ system, I would say they can change authorities anytime they wish and/or move the query objects to another library that you cannot access. You can always say that you are documenting all of the queries if any questions come up as to why you are printing all of the descriptions.

I hope this helps.

Maybe, but there’s no way to know without seeing how that attribute is defined for your user profile. Do you know if your user profile has been assigned group membership?

And, of course, there’s probably no way at all to know what their system software does with newly created objects. If the system is operated by someone else, they can make it work however they choose within their programming capabilities.
