If you were not aware, there is a CICS List. If you have not joined, and wish to do so, go to this URL CICS http://www.listserv.uga.edu/archives/cics-l.html
Next, CICS may handle the DFHRPL or STEPLIB a little differently than normal. There are many internet entries for CICS APF STEPLIB Basically, if SCEERUN and SCEERUN2 are in the Linklst, then you do not need them (AFAIK) in the CICS STEPLIB. Second, I think this trick still works, If you code SYS1.LINKLIB at the top of the STEPLIB it will keep APF alive. I am not sure if you would get an S047 if a library farther down has an issue with being APF Authorized, but SYS1.LINKLIB will not lose APF Authorization if it is in a STEPLIB. You might ask the CICS List about what really needs to be in the STEPLIB if it is in the LINKLST.
