>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> When last I read the manual, I was dismayed to discover that reloading an ADRDSSU archive with the RENAME option requires that the programmer have at least READ authority to the original data set name(s). Stupid restriction. It should suffice that the programmer have READ authority to the unloaded archive and WRITE authority to the renamed reloaded data set(s.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I disagree. If you don't have the authority to at least read the production dataset that was source for the ADRDSSU archive, I don't believe you should be able to dump it to a dataset that you do have authority to read. This would give you access to data that the company has already decided you shouldn't have access to. And that's exactly what would happen in your scenario. Now if your sending the archive to another shop, I can understand your frustration. But you need to consider what ability/authority you're giving everyone if you were to apply your rule.
