No. APF is not done on a TCB by TCB basis. Every TCB points to a control
block called the JSCB (Job Step Control Block). There is an undocumented
parameter: JSCB= on the ATTACHX macro which allows specification of the
address of this control block, possibly dynamically allocated and
initialized. Ho

That is a very bad idea. It would be better to make the RACF functions in
the SVC itself. Perhaps doing a validation before by checking a FACILITY

Or a migrate a volume to level 0 so a migrate / recall occurs for

OMEGAMON or RMF can only get the space info after the first data set is

Just my guess.
