bingo. thank you. that is exactly my problem: the sys1.miglib that I'm steplibing to for smp/e 3.5 is NOT apf-authorized. (whereas the 3.4 one is)
thanks again. I read the " ... user not authorized" and went immediately into RACF mode, bypassing any consideration of *APF* "authorization". -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mark Zelden Sent: Tuesday, 28 September, 2010 11:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: smp/e 3.5 problems [email protected] wrote: <snip> >Yet I continue to be plagued w/ the following messages when I run smp/e at the >3.5 level: > >gim54701e allocation failed for _________ - ikj56864i utility dataset >not allocated, user not authorized for function specified. This usually means the GIMSMP program is not running authorized. So are you running the step with a JOBLIB/STEPLIB that is not APF authorized? If multiple libraries are specified / concatenated, are they all APF authorized?
