Let me second what Walt says. Don't even do this as your SECOND project in
assembler! <g>

I have done this, and it's all documented, but the interdependencies of the
parameters, their implications, and what works when, and so forth, can be
difficult and frustrating. (Sorry -- I no longer have access to the code I
wrote.)

Further, unless you have a sandbox system that you totally "own," or that is
totally dedicated to development by a relatively small team, you may find
that the powers that be take a dim view of your messing around in RACF.

Note that there are older versions of the RACROUTE macro with names like
RACINIT and RACHECK. Just ignore those unless you are modifying old code
that uses them -- stick with RACROUTE, which supports every current feature.

The RACROUTE Macro Reference describes the macros, but does not provide 
much guidance on how to use them.  But it will describe the macro(s) and 
their parameters.  You can find the book online at 
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/ICHZC671/CCONTENT

or http://preview.tinyurl.com/35j8xd

Note that you need to run APF-authorized to do what you want, which may 
not be possible depending on the environment in which your code will 
run.  You should also already be familiar with doing assembler coding. 
Don't make this your first project in assembler.
