It has occurred to me that I had a similar problem a couple of months ago. When I was building a new residence volume for z/OS 1.7 image, I used the SYS1.LINKLIB from the z/OS 1.7 ServerPac image.
I used a SSA (System Specific Alias) to reference this library. I authorized this library using the DSN with the SSA. It wrote the IPL Text successfully. When I attempted to use this same library DSN with SMP/E, I received an error message stating IEBCOPY was not authorized. Dumbfounded, I authorized this library without the SSA in the DSN. The SMP/E APPLY ran successfully. Is there some mysterious confluence here because of the SSA? Just a thought. When I get 1.7 on the test system, I won't have to use the STEPLIB. All's well that ends. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
