Create a library for a group

This article describes how to create a library for the user group. You can use libraries to store objects such as programs.

Before you set up user groups, sign on to the system using your own profile (*SECADM authority is required). Go to the MAIN menu.

After you sign on to the system, you need to create a library for the user group. If you plan to have the group share a library for objects they create, such as Query programs, create the library before you create the group profile:
  1. Type CRTLIB (Create Library) and press F4 (Prompt).
  2. Fill in the display. The library name should be the group profile name.
  3. Press F10 (Additional parameters).
  4. Fill in the public authority for the library and new objects that are created in the library.
  5. Press the Enter key. Check the confirmation message.
              Create Library 
Type choices, press Enter.

Possible Error Recovery
You pressed the Enter key before you typed a description for the library. Type CHGLIB and press F4 (Prompt). Type the library name on the prompt display and press the Enter key. Type the description on the Change Library display.
You gave the library the wrong name. Use the Rename Object (RNMOBJ) command.
