Re: GRTOBJAUT...does anyone know

I believe it would try to change it for all and not just those changed
ones.  A test library with just a few objects might be a confirmation.

Retire CL for this thought.  Think SPL or Stored Procedure Language
instead.  See if you can use

   - A SQL service to retrieve existing security settings.
   - Pump that with QCMDEXC (either the scalar function or the procedure if
   you write a whole procedure)

Think a combination of OBJECT_STATISTICS and OBJECT_PRIVILEGES as shown
at:  https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.6.0?topic=optimization-i-services
I'd have more comments, but you did say "please"...
