I have posted on RACF-L many moons ago that I wrote a self contained REXX 
program with LIBDEF panels, message library, etc., which, using pop-up ISPF 
panels, captures data to create/re-assign/delete many RACF ids [1] and then 
write out a dataset containing RACF commands for later review and executing.

When finished, that REXX program drops everything it aquired and just leave a 
dataset for review/editing later.

Is this what you want? I can e-mail that REXX program/panels/messages to you 
off-list.
