... I have experimentally built and tested simple GIMZIP-style archives outside SMP/E, using conventional utilities not SAF-controlled, such as IEBCOPY, IEBGENER, SHA-1, ... By doing this and eschewing GIMZIP do I gain security by eliminating the possibility that I might inadvertently activate the ineffable security threat? Or, since I am performing functions equivalent to GIMZIP's, do I incur an equivalent risk?
Are you driving those utilities from a program that is APF authorized? If so, then you might be similarly exposed.
