The authorization checking in this case is not done by SDSF and consequently issuing an ICH408I is not under its control. If you're a RACF shop, list the resource profiles defined to the OPERCMDS class and make sure the relevant profiles have the necessary users/groups in their access list.

No. Release of 1.8 won't affect it at all. It's N-3 relative to 1.7, not 1.8 or any other then existing releases after 1.7. Don Imbriale -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Gilmartin Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2005 3:28 PM

No missing fingers that I can tell. With the new annual release schedule and 3 years service for any given release, N-2 is about all we'll see. Essentially N-3, N-2, or N-whatever are no longer relevant. It's any-supported-release can coexist-migrate-fallback with any-other-supported release.
