MGCEFAST = Bypass SSI, command exits, and CMDAUTH.


MGCEFAST should be used only when that processing has already been done.

Precisely, Ed.  MGCEFAST was created for things like cross system CPF and
CMDSYS processing to prevent such 'extra' processing. Checking and auditing twice wouldn't be too useful (and might be confusing!). Even worse would be the possibility of a command being infinitely routed about the sysplex as a
command exit continually changed and caused the command to be forwarded
elsewhere...

Since MGCRE is an authorized service, enabling users to decide whether or
not such things are done is appropriate, since an authorized task could
likely do anything it wanted in determining its own security environment
(both for SAF and default MCS checking).
