Victor, the best answer is *probably* that you should try to find another way to accomplish whatever task that you want to accomplish - in other words, without using reserved functions.
The legendary reliability and integrity of z/OS is in part due to the functions that are reserved for supervisory programs, and the reluctance of system administrators to grant supervisory authority - particularly to a "newbie." Nothing personal - it's just easy for a beginner to make an honest mistake that might cost an IPL (or a ding on your company's annual audit). If you still think that you absolutely need this particular function, you will need to discuss it with your management and your security folks. IBM-MAIN can help you with the technical details.

As I write in the subject, I'm just a newbie. I'm sure what I'm going to ask is obvious, but here I go... I have a PL/I program trying to work with ICSF, and using one of the functions (I don't remember which one) and I reached Return Code 8; Reason Code 2068. It means I must execute the program in supervisor state or key 0. What can I do to execute my program in Supervisor state? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
