No, it doesn't. Nor does it mention IMPORT, DEFINE or ALTER but these are all TSO commands. Lennie

So if the requirement is to run DCOLLECT, an entry for DCOLLECT can be placed in the AUTHCMD list. Then DCOLLECT can be run using ADDRESS TSO DCOLLECT ......etc.... I have also found that there are some IDCAMS verbs or functions that require APF authorisation for some parameters only. Using RECATLOG on DEFINE is one that comes to mind. So to use RECATLOG on the TSO DEFINE command the DEFINE command must be placed into the AUTHCMD list.

If you're asking why she needs to run IDCAMS APF-authorized, it's because IDCAMS is normally run APF-authorized, and although some IDCAMS functions will work if the program is not running authorized, others (e.g., DCOLLECT) won't work without APF-authorization. If you're asking something else, please clarify. -- Walt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
