If the program does not reside in an APF authorized library, placing it in AUTHPGM does not give it any extra authority. It will waste some system resources to create the authorized environment that is implied as necessary.
If it is in an authorized library, it needs to take the exact same precautions any other homegrown program that runs authorized would need to take. When you authorize any program, you are trusting it not to violate your system's integrity. How it earns that trust varies from site to site but I expect most have additional requirements above and beyond normal release procedures. > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On > Behalf Of Leonardo Vaz > Sent: Saturday, November 16, 2019 7:30 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: AUTHPGM in IKJTSOxx > > I am curious now, does a custom homegrown program have to take extra > precautions > to be placed under AUTHPGM?
