Don’t you need RACF OPERATIONS authority or its equivalent to issue the commands? Can you just give other people authority to issue commands without having it yourself?

The Rexx was called OPERCMDB and was executed via JCL. This would allow you to "authorize" only those who need it, instead of opening up command submission for everyone!!!!

Yes. As soon as it gets interpreted. As for a "command issuer", I stole a rexx exec from IBM that uses ISFSLASH to issue commands, and trap the responses. Uses your standard SAF interfaces to authorize command use, etc. I don’t know why IBM just hasn’t packaged something standard for use. _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Manager Mainframe Engineering, Assistant Vice President [email protected] 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB2H p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.2717 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom Marchant Sent: Friday, April 28, 2017 10:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: VARY command in a batch job On Fri, 28 Apr 2017 14:18:37 +0000, william janulin wrote: >Guys,I just did a quick test of a batch job with a // COMMAND statement >in it , using IEFBR14, it worked fine. >Thank you everyone for your responses, Bill J. When did it work? IIRC the command is issued when it is read or converted. If you want the command to be issued at a time relative to other steps in the job, you'll need a program to submit the command. If you submit your test with TYPRUN=HOLD, does the command get executed? -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN This e-mail transmission contains information that is confidential and may be privileged.
