Jean-François:

AFAIK, the "List" APIs have auto-extended user spaces since the APIs
were first available. The APIs set the attribute to allow extension. If
you set it first, the attribute will be re-set. I don't think there's
anything you can do about it.

To me, 500 objects seems like a small number. And if you really only
want a limited number of owned objects listed, I'm not sure of a good
way to do it. The only thing that comes to mind is to see what happens
if you don't have *CHANGE authority to the space. (I'm not sure what
authority is the minimum needed to list into a space -- I've always made
sure I had enough.)

That seems a little odd, but there's an implication in the documentation
that seems to mean that a partial list will be put in the space. I've
never wanted to limit elements in this way, so I have no idea what will
happen.

What I believe is desired, is to obtain the "Materialize count of
owned objects" from MATAUOBJ ; presumably same as what the noted API
uses, but with a limited receiver. Or perhaps "Number of used entries"
for ownership from MATUP. I am not aware of an API that gives either,
nor did I find header members in MIH file in QSYSINC. Maybe somebody
has already written something similar; I came up empty on a search.

PRTPRFINT gives some information _like_ this, of course only spooled
output. That feature however, as observed from trace output, calls a
user domain service program QSYPCTFUL, and it returns very quickly. I
did not see it as a published API, but its interface was easily inferred
if [you want to code to an unpublished interface and] it seems to
provide sufficient detail.
