Yes, you want to use REQUEST=FASTAUTH to search the in-storage lists that were previously built in the *primary* space by REQUEST=LIST. A task must issue REQUEST=LIST, but AFAIK a task or SRB (and allows cross memory mode) can issue REQUESST=FASTAUTH to look at the pre-built lists. FASTAUTH uses the authority (ACEE) in the home space and looks at the lists that were built in the primary space. The primary space should be some kind of server space, but it could be the same as the home space. Jeffrey D.
