Specifies the method of assigning authority settings to the specified output stream file to which data is to be copied. If the specified output stream file already exists, this parameter is ignored.
Default
The owner of stream file will be granted *RWX (object and all data authorities) data authority to the stream file. The primary group and Public will have *NONE data authority to the stream file. Object authorities will be based on the object authorities for the directory where the stream file is to be created.Inherit from parent directory
The authority settings of the output stream file are based on the authority for the directory where the stream file is to be created. The stream file is assigned the same public authority, private authorities, primary group, primary group authority, authorization list, and auditing value as the directory in which it is created. If the target file system does not support this special value, the command will fail.Source table or view authority
The authority settings of the output stream file are based on the authority for the object specified on the From file (FROMFILE) parameter. The stream file is assigned the same public authority, private authorities, primary group, primary group authority, authorization list, and auditing value as the from-file object being copied. If the target file system does not support one or more of these values, the unsupported values will be ignored.If the from-file object is a multi-system file, the default value is used.
Inherit from parent directory and source table or view authority
The resulting authority information will be similar to that produced by copying and pasting a stream file using System i Navigator. The authority information for the stream file will initially be based on the directory where the stream file is created. Then, authority information from the object specified on the From file (FROMFILE) parameter will be copied to the object. This may replace some of the initial authority information obtained from the directory.If the from-file object is a multi-system file, the default value Inherit from parent directory is used.
