Hum, I don't know ACF2. What occurs to me as a __possibility__ is to have your ISPF application execute a routine via IKJEFTSR interface. This would invoke an APF authorized (via AC(1) and IKJTSOnn member of PARMLIB) program. I think that you could pass parameters via the REXX variable interface, bidirectionally. This routine would be APF authorized only while it was executing. Depending on what you want to do, this may give you sufficient authorization to do what you want. It likely depends on whether you can isolate the section of code which require SECURITY privilege into a separate module which acts sort of like a subroutine (and does no ISPF functions). Unfortunately, I don't know ACF2 at all and can't find anything via Google that cleared up what "SECURITY privilege" grants to a user. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
