You may be aware that the command DSPPGM allows only * or *PRINT for the command output.

It is very difficult to find out, within a given library, which programs are running under the owner authority instead of user authority.

Therefore I've written the program RTVPGMINF, which can be called by any other program, and returns in variable &USRPFROPT:

O if program runs under owner authority
U if program runs under user authority

The PGM (DSPPGMLIB) is an example how to list for a specific library all program having USER=*OWNER.

RTVPGMINF source:

 
           PGM        PARM(&PGMNAME &LIBNAME &USRPRFOPT &ERRORID)

/* VARIABLES */

             DCL        VAR(&RECEIVER) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(220)
             DCL        VAR(&RCVLEN) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(4)
             DCL        VAR(&FORMAT) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(8)

             /* TOTAL LENGHT ERROR STRUCTURE     */
             DCL        VAR(&ERROR) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(96)

             DCL        VAR(&LENGTH) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(15 0)
             DCL        VAR(&LENGTHA) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(4)

             DCL        VAR(&PGMNAME) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
             DCL        VAR(&LIBNAME) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
             DCL        VAR(&QUALPGMNME) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(20)

             DCL        VAR(&USRPRFOPT) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1)
             DCL        VAR(&ERRORID) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(7)
/* SET VARIABLES */
             CHGVAR     VAR(&QUALPGMNME) VALUE(&PGMNAME *CAT +
                          &LIBNAME)

             CHGVAR     VAR(&LENGTH) VALUE(220)
             CHGVAR     VAR(%BIN(&RCVLEN)) VALUE(&LENGTH)

             CHGVAR     VAR(&FORMAT) VALUE('PGMI0100')

             /* ERROR STRUCTURE AVAILABLE LENGTH   */
             CHGVAR     VAR(&LENGTH) VALUE(88)
             CHGVAR     VAR(%BIN(&LENGTHA)) VALUE(&LENGTH)
             CHGVAR     VAR(%SST(&ERROR 1 4)) VALUE(&LENGTHA)

             /* THE VALID ERROR LENGTH WILL BE SET BY THE API */
             CHGVAR     VAR(&LENGTH) VALUE(0)
             CHGVAR     VAR(%BIN(&LENGTHA)) VALUE(&LENGTH)
             CHGVAR     VAR(%SST(&ERROR 5 4)) VALUE(&LENGTHA)

             CALL       PGM(QCLRPGMI) PARM(&RECEIVER &RCVLEN &FORMAT +
                          &QUALPGMNME &ERROR)
             MONMSG     MSGID(CPF0000)

          /* DUE TO FACT THAT THE FIELDS DESCRIBED IN THE          */
          /* DOCUMENT BEGIN AT POSITION ZERO YOU HAVE TO ADD +1 TO */
          /* THE GIVEN POSITION TO GET THE DATA CORRECTLY          */
             CHGVAR     VAR(&USRPRFOPT) VALUE(%SST(&RECEIVER 106 1))
             CHGVAR     VAR(&ERRORID) VALUE(%SST(&ERROR 9 7))

 ENDE:       RETURN
