Well, I'm showing my RACF ignorance in a big way, obviously! That doesn't bother me, I can take it.
The issue is code that currently generates some data objects (they're all small) and caches them in HFS. Someone said, "They should be in RACF". So a corollary question is, "Does RACF allow definition of arbitrary objects ([email protected] -- yes, > 8 bytes) and then allow access control over them? My reading suggests that it doesn't, but I haven't gotten very far. If it does, then the question is, "So, if these objects are accessed frequently, is it better performance-wise to ask RACF for access, or to read them from disk?" (Yes, this skips the question of whether just asking "Mother May I" is sufficient for this purpose, but let's assume it is.)

So again, what RACF request are you after? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
