You are correct Walt. I should have said obtain, not retain. I start out
authorized but lose it as soon as I call the REXX function. I require APF for
a certain call while in the REXX function. It does sound like the TSR is
required one way or the other (along with the AUTHTSF entry of course).
Regards and thanks
Stan

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.
