I did know about this but it had not occurred to me that we might be able 
to use it.

The circumstance I am thinking about is where we have one (limited use) 
system that has no RACF database and no RACFVM server. RACF would not be 
enabled in the SYSTEM CONFIG (RACF will not be licensed on this processor 
so the code will not be installed). 

It would be nice, if possible, to use the same CPLOAD MODULE (including 
the RACF calls) that we generate for our other systems but the only way 
that seems possible would be to use the RACF 'cuckoo code fake RACF 
server' suggested by Rob - if we can find a way to get it to defer back to 
CP for normal directory password checking.

The other situation is in my 2nd level build system where I also have no 
RACF database available.

I have seen all the suggestions for selectable PPF files and will probably 
go with something based on that. Because I want the normal build 
(including RACFVM) to be completely standard (SERVICE ALL & PUT2PROD), I 
will probably build a PPF override file for NONRACF only that will do a 
Non - RACF build after all the normal service and build has been done.
