Subject: Validation of a resource name

Hi list,

I am building a small web application that interfaces with RACF.

On the client side I only have the IBM default supplied classes.

I want validate as much as possible on the client before sending it to the
server.

For the moment I have the following checks:

- For all classes, never allowed is:

     triple '*'
     2 times '**'
      no dot before '**'
     '*' must be followed by a dot, an second '*' or must be the end of the
resource name

- For the DATASET class:

     A qualifier starts with a number
     A qualifier is longer than 8 characters
     A warning for a single level qualifier resource name

- For the other IBM default ones including DATASET:

     First, Other and Maxlnth are checked

Anybody any corrections or supplementary checks I could add?

Any reaction would be greatly appreciated.
