Sure - just about anything can be done with the RACF macros. But they
require authorization, of course.

What produces this second listing?

Is it possible that the REVOKED status reported the first time was
actually an indication of some other reason the user would not be able
to logon, e.g. being revoked at the group level or having a revoke
date that has been reached? Do your SMF records show CONNECT command
activity that affects the user? There are doubtless other reasons that
a report might claim a userid to be revoked when the magic "FLAG4" is
not set.
