Comments on: SQL equivalent of GRTOBJAUT using Authorization List http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/sql-equivalent-of-grtobjaut-using-authorization-list/ Thu, 23 May 2013 18:24:46 +0000 hourly 1 By: tomliotta http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/sql-equivalent-of-grtobjaut-using-authorization-list/#comment-91533 tomliotta Fri, 29 Apr 2011 19:33:50 +0000 #comment-91533 Because you can call QCMDEXC without requiring any return parameter values, it can called as a stored procedure without needing to register it first as a stored procedure.

In the SQL CALL, remember that the ‘Length’ will need to be supplied as a DEC(15 5) value, e.g., 0000000123.0000 would be a 123-byte long command string. That’s probably the single biggest detail that trips these things up.

This has long been a puzzler to me.

The GRTOBJAUT command would be passed in as a parm to a stored proc.

However, normal system commands work for SQL tables, so the GRTOBJAUT command can assign an *AUTL to a table.
