Then you should go to SHARE and hear David Hayes. GSA auditor (just retired) 
and WAY mainframe competent.

I have not seen a competent auditor for the mainframe in about 30 years. <G>

Aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? Any competent auditor who saw 
that would slap you down.

The   SVC code just sets the JSCBAUTH bit on for a few nanoseconds while the
user code runs and then sets if off  in response to another SVC call to do so.
I do not run it any more but it really came in handy and did not cause any 
problems.

Eileen,  that code sounds suspiciously like a huge security vulnerability?
Am I missing something?

I actually have run a few CICS programs in supervisor state using an old SVC 
routine that LRS used to provide - You just pass it the address of the code to 
run and it sets the JSCBAUTH bit on so that the code runs in supervisor 
state/key 0.
I needed this in order to issue MVS commands directly from CICS, like VTAM 
commands to vary devices INACT and START commands for various things.
I still have the SVC code if anyone wants it.

The problem with CICS has always been that it sets the JSCBAUTH  bit off after 
initialization so that APF authorized programs cannot run.

You need to be supervisor state to do this. Using CICS just because it is 
easier is a wrong decision.

But if you are sold on using CICS, you would need to write a SVC routine to 
actually do the work and have your transaction supply a CICS area as a buffer 
and the SVC routine will do the IFI work and return the record.

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me, you should 
preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems, especially those 
from irresponsible companies.
