Lizette, I'm sorry for my cloudy description - let me try to be more clear...
We have a STEPLIB with 2 files in it. The real filenames are MY.APF.FILE1 and MY.APF.FILE2. These files are APF authorized. When the job uses these names in STEPLIB, it runs fine. Now I have an alias called MY.ALIAS.FILE1 for MY.APF.FILE1. When my application runs with this alias file, the application checks to see if it is authorized (it is a vendor app), issues a message telling me it is not authorized and then ends. It is running on z/OS 1.10. *don* On Wed, Jun 1, 2011 at 3:51 PM, Lizette Koehler <[email protected]>wrote: > >Hi friends! > >Can anyone suggest a reason why a job runs fine with APF authorized > loadlibs > >when the actual files are used, but fails as unauthorized when using a > >dataset alias?
