OWN is designed to allow the ownership of a file to be changed to any UIC rather than the limited choice available in PIP. MCR>SET /UIC=[grp1,mem1] MCR>OWN [grp2,mem2]filename.ext;ver OWN will change the file ownership to [grp1,mem1]. Note that you must be either SYSTEM or the current owner of the file in order to change the ownership. In other words, once a non-privileged user changes ownership of a file, he will not be able to rechange that ownership. OWN supports wild cards in the name, extension, and version fields. Wild carded directories are not supported. UIC is defaulted to the current UIC and version defaults to 0. There is no default for name or extension.
