At my last location that's exactly what happended. The guy's that administered Racf created a Rexx EXEC to make my steps a little easier, but I was in full control.
The reason I'm such a proponent of the DFP segment is because it reduces the amount of work I need to do to the ACS routines. At first I was totally against the idea, then once I learned the benefits, I was all for it.

Not necessarily, though. The RACF administrator can delegate all the DFP segment authority to the storage administrators. Then you have the flexibility of using the DFP segments for the simple cases, but using ACS routines for more complex cases. Of course, then the storage administrators need to learn a little about RACF. -- Walt Farrell, CISSP IBM STSM, z/OS Security Design ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------------- Under Florida law, e-mail addresses are public records.
