Display program information with API QCLRPGMI

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.
