"I am trying to start GTF using Start command. While I do so I am hit by the following error: IEF695I START GTF WITH JOBNAME GTF IS ASSIGNED TO USER START2 , GROUP SYS1 IEF196I ICH408I USER(START2 ) GROUP(SYS1 ) IEF196I NAME(####################) IEF196I SYS1.TRACE CL(DATASET ) VOL(USERZ4) IEF196I DEFINE - INSUFFICIENT AUTHORITY ICH408I USER(START2 ) GROUP(SYS1 ) NAME(####################) 495 SYS1.TRACE CL(DATASET ) VOL(USERZ4) DEFINE - INSUFFICIENT AUTHORITY IEF196I IEF344I GTF SYSDA IEFRDER - ALLOCATION FAILED DUE TO DATA" The first response to this was that you need appropriate RACF knowledge and authority to change either accesses to GTF. BUT looking again I see that it is the DSN on IEFRDER, (SYS1.TRACE) which is causing the failure, and the beauty of the IEFPROC/IEFRDER combination is that it permits keyword re-assignment via the START command. This means you could try: S GTF,DSN=my.data.set.name Kind regards - Terry Terry Sambrooks Director KMS-IT Limited 228 Abbeydale Road South Dore Sheffield South Yorkshire UK Tel +44 (0) 114 262 0933 Web www.kmsitltd.co.uk Reg: England & Wales 3767263 at the above address All outgoing E-mails are scanned but it remains the responsibility of the recipient to ensure that their system is protected from infection by virus, Trojans, and worms. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
