Indicting FDR on the basis of a "probably bypasses" premise is not fair. If the program does not do that gratuitously, restricting access can diminish productivity in your installation. There is no reason to apply restrictions to SPZAP. It makes no attempt to circumvent normal restrictions that apply to the data sets referenced by its SYSLIB ddname. Blindly restricting access to a few programs is false security.
