Some ideas, which may sound a bit silly, but I don't know your environment. Don't put the COBOL compiler libraries on the other LPARs? Put them on DASD that is kept offline to the other LPARs? Implement IEFUSI exit and abend the job if you detect PGM=IGYCRCTL? Implement the JES2 exit 6 and JCL error if you detect PGM=IGYCRCTL (Can the ThruPut Manager product do it, anyone?) I don't really know of any product, per se, to do this. Oh, ACF2 might be able to do it with a conditional access list to the COBOL compiler libraries. RACF cannot do this conditioning based on LPAR. This assumes that you are sharing the RACF database amoung the LPARs. If you are not sharing the RACF database, then use RACF to protect the COBOL libraries. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
