> Are there alternate methods to retaining authorization when running under the TMP other than using IKJEFTSR? I have some REXX functions written in assembler that call other functions requiring authorization and the only method I was aware of to retain my authorization was to use the TSR? My thanks ahead of time I think you meant "obtain authorization" not "retain authorization," Stan. If you were already running authorized while in your REXX function there's nothing that would cause you to lose it, except trying to invoke something that was not in an authorized library. If you're not running authorized, and want to perform a function that requires authorization, then you can bury that function within an SVC or PC routine, or use IKJEFTSR to invoke it (if it's appropriately listed in the TSO/E parmlib member), or (if the function is written in REXX) you could simply use the TSO/E "call" command (not the REXX "call" statement) if the module is appropriately listed in the parmlib member. -- Walt Farrell IBM STSM, z/OS Security Design ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
