Yes to all of that .... Puzzled me too ... Never seen it before .... I am aware of the concatenation restriction on APF authorised load libraries (and the integrity reasoning behind it), but there are no steplibs in the job and the Joblib is, obviously, the same for all steps.
I will chase it up with our sysprogs today, and see if they have found out anymore. PDSMAN does seem to be the main suspect here though.

Whether there is or is not an I/O appendage routine hidden away inside of dear old IEBCOPY seems immaterial. APF authorization is not something that just comes and goes within a step. Every new step can be authorized or not, but if the JOBLIB, STEPLIB or application specific library concatenations are the same for each step in the job, the system is going to get the same answer each time. There's just no such thing as "losing" APF authorization. For any new job step the system checks the AC attribute of the incoming job step program. If that's AC(1) then the system checks that the load library is APF authorized. If it IS then the job step is given control in an "APF Authorized" condition (i.e. JSCBAUTH=1) otherwise it is given control completely non-authorized. Now there are some gotchas of course. The one that trips up most young players is that for a load library to be considered APF authorized, EVERY dataset in the concatenation must be APF authorized. So even if you're fetching IEBCOPY from a righteously APF authorized library, if you have that library concatenated (e.g. in a JOBLIB or STEPLIB DD) with a non-authorized library then the entire concatenation is considered non-authorized and IEBCOPY won't run authorized. So assuming IEBCOPY is doing the right thing (FSVO "the right thing") on some steps and not others, I'd be looking for a difference in libraries between those steps. -- This email might be from the artist formerly known as CC (or not) You be the judge. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 This e-mail message, including any attachments transmitted with it, is CONFIDENTIAL and may contain legally privileged information.
