I'm posting this again.  I apologize if this is a double-post.

Ok, I'm thick.

I'm trying to create an alias to a user catalog, and I'm getting bit.

 /* IDCAMS COMMAND */                                                  
    DEFINE ALIAS (NAME(MYALIAS) -                                      
           RELATE(ABC123.CATALOG) -                                    
    )                                                                  
IDC3018I SECURITY VERIFICATION FAILED                                  
IDC3009I ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 56 - REASON CODE IS
IGG0CLFT-36

**********

What do I need to change where so that I can create this baby?

RC56 RSN36 tells me:
Explanation: The caller is not authorized. When no profile exists for functions 
that require RACF authorization, the caller must be at least APF authorized.

What exactly do I authorize?

Thanks,
Aaron
