Short Answer: Yes. From "z/OS Security Server RACF Command Language Reference" (both z/OS 1.13 & z/OS 2.02 versions)
USER(=MEMBER) Specifies that the procedure name should be used as the user ID. If =MEMBER is specified for USER, a group-name value should be specified for the GROUP operand. If =MEMBER is specified for both USER and GROUP, a warning message is issued and problems might result when the profile is used. For information, see z/OS Security Server RACF System Programmer's Guide. And to further muddle things up: GROUP(=MEMBER) Specifies that the procedure name should be used as the group name. If =MEMBER is specified for GROUP, a userid value must be specified for the USER operand or RACF uses the started procedures table to assign an identity for this started task. If =MEMBER is specified for both USER and GROUP, a warning message is issued and problems might result when the profile is used. For information, see z/OS Security Server RACF System Programmer's Guide. Is an option on the RDEFINE command.

In the past when installing a new z/OS - I've always skipped the part that says to Create or Update ICHRDNST. Instead I have copied ICHRIN03 to the new SYS1.LPALIB I've since forgotten why I do this. So I did some research and found that I probably should have converted my ICHRIN03 to STARTED procedures. I found the sample to run and ended up with this output. SETR GENERIC(STARTED) *RDEFINE STARTED ** STDATA( USER(=MEMBER) GROUP(STCGRP) PRIVILEGED(NO) TRUSTED(NO) TRACE(YES) ) * SETROPTS CLASSACT(STARTED) RACLIST(STARTED) SETROPTS RACLIST(STARTED) REFRESH That RDEFINE does not look right to me. USER=(=MEMBER) is that possibly correct? -- The postings on this site are my own and don’t necessarily represent Mainline’s positions or opinions Mark D Pace Senior Systems Engineer Mainline Information Systems ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
