Anyone  familiar with such an "erase"  feature?

RACF profile ERASE on  SCRATCH


 
Be very careful with this feature.  Namely, make sure you turn it off  after 
you're through erasing data.  And turn it on very selectively.   Horror story 
41A:  10+ years ago a data center manager friend told a small  group at SHARE 
about his situation where their security guy discovered this  feature one day, 
turned it on as the default for all data sets everywhere  without checking 
with anybody else as to the performance implications, and  performance and 
throughput suddenly went all to hell.  It took them a week  to figure out what 
was 
happening and reset the RACF parameters.  It also  helps to cross train people.
