Does anybody have an explanation why STDATA isn't included in a new
STARTED entry if it is modelled on an existing entry ??.
Catches our RACF people out damn near every time.
Only certain information is modeled by RDEFINE ... FROM, as documented.
I can not really say why that's true, except that in the general
case it's impossible to copy everything, safely, and even in specific
cases where it would make sense (such as the one you mention) we haven't
invested the programming/testing resources to do it. Generally I
suggest doing such modelling using a REXX exec that can build the
appropriate RDEFINE command, rather than issuing RDEFINE directly.
A REXX exec can read IRRDBU00 output, for example, or (though we
discourage it) the output of an RLIST, to do a more complete copying job.
