Many RACF-L guys/gals are lurking on IBM-MAIN. And Radoslaw kindly answered you 
properly.

RACF use the best match principle. If it can't find a matching profile/member, 
it will move on to profiles with wildcards:

So, for example, it will move from profile XYZ to XY* to X* to *.

If no match are found, a default return code for PROGRAM is used.

You can safely delete those profiles where the member really does not exist in 
the library.

Only clever people ask question. ;-)
