Debbie,
See if there is an entry in the RACF global access table like
&RACUID.**/ALTER that enables users to create and access datasets prefixed
with their own ID without the need for a profile. Executing the following
command will display this information.
RL GLOBAL DATASET

Subject: Dataset created without corresponding RACF profile
I encountered a problem that I'm trying to understand where to even look for
the answer. A user connected to our mainframe (z/OS 1.4) through Attachmate
and then logged onto TSO. From the Ready prompt, he initiated a file
transfer from his PC to a mainframe dataset (using the Attachmate Tools
menu). The file transfer was complete but the dataset created had no
associated RACF dataset profile. No error messages appeared on the SYSLOG.
Until a dataset profile was created for this dataset, we were unable to do
anything with it, including running our nightly backups. Where should I
look for the "hole" that is allowing a dataset to be created for which there
is no RACF profile? Our security admin is also posing the question to the
RACF list, but I thought one of you might be able to point me in the right
direction. I am not familiar with Attachmate and don't have it available to
do any testing, etc., except through the user.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
