There's another possible option if you are now the RACF administrator. Does your site have a DR plan that you can access? Often, the DR kit includes a superuser/RACF administrator userID and password. If you can get hold of it, you should be able to use it to set up what you need.
Hope this helps, e.s. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Roach, Dennis (N-GHG) Sent: Wednesday, March 25, 2009 10:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: In trouble! Anyone that has RACF special can give you the authority needed. If the sysprog that is no longer there was the only person, that makes it harder. If you have a product (Omegamon, etc.) that can modify memory, you can turn on the special bit in the ACEE for a user that is logged on, alter your ID to have special, log the user off (to clear the temporary special flag) and you're back in business. If you have update to an APF authorized library, you can write a program to zap the ACEE. RACF has a utility that will allow you to zap the data base, assuming you have update to the DB.
