Oh... in case it wasn't obvious to the "dummies" <grin>  "operator" and
"mvs_sysprog" in the example should be replaced with valid uid strings
that are appropriate for your shop.   As far as the comments in the JCL
about making XFC resident, I did that in order to treat XCF (XFACILIT) 
the same was as FAC (FACILITY) is treated. XFACILIT is just an extension
of FACILITY.   Those commands should be entered in a separate job
or interactively by an ACF2 admin. 

There is an ACF2 cookbook, but I doubt it has this.  Many vendors 
(especially IBM) don't supply equivalent OEM security definitions for RACF
like CA does (not a surprise since they own TSS and ACF2).  You just have
to understand something about administering those products in order to 
translate.
