IT33849: MQSC DISPLAY command shows "Not authorized" multiple times

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If a user issues DISPLAY commands from MQSC, but does not have
  sufficient authority on the underlying objects matching the
  command, multiple error
  messages might be printed. For example:
  
  runmqsc <qmgr>
  
       1 : DISPLAY AUTHINFO(*)
  AMQ8135: Not authorized.
  AMQ8135: Not authorized.
  AMQ8135: Not authorized.
  AMQ8135: Not authorized.
  One MQSC command read.
  No commands have a syntax error.
  One valid MQSC command could not be processed.
  

Local fix

• Not available
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  RUNMQSC users that generate a "Not authorized" error for
  different objects while processing a single command. In the
  current example, a display authinfo(*) command was issued
  without appropriate authorization, which resulted in the "Not
  authorized" message occurring multiple times.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  A runmqsc command may iterate over multiple objects, e.g. with a
  wildcard. If each object encountered a similar error (in this
  case "No Authorization"), the error was printed for each entity
  resulting in duplicate messages.
  

Problem conclusion

• Logic was added to only print one instance of the "Not
  authorized" error.
