Are your structures setup and activated?

Do a D XCF,STRUCTURE to see them.

... also issue D XCF,STRUCTURE,STRNAME=<RACF structure>

Check these output:

.....

STATUS: ALLOCATED 
.....

CONNECTION NAME  ID VERSION  SYSNAME  JOBNAME  ASID STATE 
---------------- -- -------- -------- -------- ---- ------
IRRP001@????     02 00020058 ????     RACFDS   0017 ACTIVE

If you don't see it, check your setup of the CF structure.

AL1(1) is easy ... ;-)


>Any ideas?

I have first X'C8' - 1100 1000 during all the initial setup of CF and the 
structures.

Then IPL, etc. where you get SysPlex and NON DATASHARING.

Then after verifying all is Ok and you can get DATASHARING working, then I code 
in X'CC' - 1100 1100 (and then IPL at a convenient time)

If all is working you should get this:

MEMBER <sid>      IS SYSPLEX COMMUNICATIONS ENABLED & IN DATA SHARING MODE.

Ok, above is perhaps too elaborate, but I was just very cautious and have 
practised on a sandbox SysPlex.

Good luck!
