We use group screen function UTIEIN to transfer elements between Endevor and the Natural editor. It used to work but then didn’t showing error, “NAT0972 User is not authorized to use this command: GLOBALS.” What’s wrong?

Can you check if the user is connected to the library with a standard link or a special link? if they log in to the library and issue the “PROFILE” command, the first screen will show a “Link ID” in the top left if it has a special link. You can go through the Additional Options > Command Restrictions to see if GLOBALS is set to N for that link.

shows it’s a standard link. What’s the difference between a standard vs. special link? One of our Adabas DBAs saw GLOBALS set to N and changed it to Y on 2023-06-14 in the Command Restrictions section I posted above.

standard link uses the profile set for the library; special link overrides that profile for the specific user/group that the link is made for. Otherwise the options for each are the same.

Your TECH command is showing last error is NAT0082, not NAT0972. If this is just a red herring, a support ticket might be needed to help you find what the issue is.
