fix

RRM Secured entries use full IFS paths to establish whether the secured entries cover certain files. This is not only for IFS files but for any files/members in any library. This includes the use of IFS generics.

For example, if you want to secure member test1 in file TEST in library QGPL, use the following path:

QSYS.LIB/QGPL.LIB/TEST.FILE/TEST1.MBR 

If you want to secure multiple files in a library, wildcards can be used. To secure all files in library QGPL, use the following path:

QSYSLIB.LIB/QGPL.LIB/*.FILE

To secure all objects that start with DE in library QGPL, use the following path:

QSYS.LIB/QGPL.LIB/DE*.*

OS/400 generics like *LIBL, *USRLIBL and *ALL do not work. For example, QSYS.LIB/QGPL.LIB/SALES1.FILE/*ALL.MBR and QSYS.LIB/BRICHLIB.LIB/*ALL.*ALL will not work and should be QSYS.LIB/QGPL.LIB/SALES1.FILE/*.MBR and

QSYS.LIB/BRICHLIB.LIB/*.*
