Command not allowed in this setting.

[ArpitaS]

Hi All,

A batch program calls a particular command in a CLP. However, on executing the command, the error ' Command not allowed in this setting' appears and the job fails.

On checking the command (WRKCMD), I could find that the command has been defined with MODE (*PROD, *DEBUG, *SERVICE). But, the ALLOW setting is made with *IPGM only. Is this the reason, why the batch job is not able to use the command ? What should be the ideal value of ALLOW for this command, so that it can run in batch jobs ?

Please advise.

If the creator of the CL program is allowed to execute this command, compile your CL program with Option User Profile (USRPRF) = *OWNER

the ALLOW answers your question *IPGM = interactive program. for it to run in a CL in batch mode the ALLOW has to also include *BPGM
