Re: What is IEANTRTR in Authorized Assembler Services Reference?
IEANTRTR, exactly like IEANTRT, has authorization-related "limitations" and authorization-related opportunities. If you look closely, the non-authorized IEANTRT shows that the level parameter has 4 choices. The authorized IEANTRT shows that the level parameter has 7 choices. The same is true for IEANTRTR (or would be if both authorized and non-authorized were documented). But neither is really true. It's just that an unauthorized IEANTRT would (in practice, not theory) not use one of the other 3 choices. Those other three options are all "match only if the name/token was created by a supervisor state or system key creator". Could an unauthorized user go down that route? I suppose. They wouldn't be retrieving information that they set. The authorized IEANTRT allows SRB-mode and allows locks to be held; the unauthorized does not allow SRB-mode. It incorrectly talks about locks that could be held. It should not. But realize that these are not enforced requirements/restrictions. Unauthorized code cannot be in SRB mode and cannot have system locks; authorized code is expected to follow the rules, whether they are enforced or not. Unlike IEANTRT for reasons that I do not recall (but should because I wrote it and it was only 10 years ago) but for which I'd hope you'd consider submitting "negative feedback" (such as via thumbs down within "was this topic helpful?" after which you get to enter your comment), IEANTRTR is documented only in the authorized assembler services reference. It should be documented in both, appropriately. It's hard to submit feedback for "this book doesn't have this chapter", with the current scheme available, so I'd suggest doing it from the authorized book's chapter.

You must always assemble your product with your lowest supported libraries (e.g. 2.4 AMACLIB, AMODGEN, MACLIB, MODGEN) otherwise the generated code may not be compatible with lower releases.

Some macros in the authorized assembler macro book don't require running authorized but are affected if you are running authorized. Name tokens is one of those. Name tokens are useful in all environments (including unauthorized) but when used in an authorized environment, you will want them secured otherwise you may have a security exposure. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Re: What is IEANTRTR in Authorized Assembler Services Reference?
Do you mean WHY is it in the Authorized manual? The organization of Assembler Services versus Authorized Assembler Services is a mystery to me. Why is SVC 99 documented in the Authorized Services Guide, when it requires no authorization (generally). I find it frustrating. You look up ATTACH in Assembler Services, and then you have to go "oh wait, maybe I can do what I want, I need to check Authorized Assembler Services." I think of the division between the two pubs as more "vanilla applications stuff" versus "cool systems stuff" rather than as unauthorized versus authorized.

I was looking to see if this was supported in 2.4, but didn't find it in Assembler Services Reference. But it also wasn't in 2.5. Then checked the other manual and found it. This macro does not need any authorization. -- Binyamin Dissen http://www.dissensoftware.com Director, Dissen Software, Bar & Grill - Israel -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
