Listers - I think this brings up a good issue. It would be NICE if some VENDOR would create a process that could do this kind of work. I believe it could be helpful to have a gui/tso front end where I would point to my ACS source and SCDS/ACDS datasets and RACF/ACF2/TSS database. And it wou

I might sound like a broken record but I'll say it again - If you don't already know how to use Naviquest, learn to use it - if you're going to re-write code, it will be your friend. Unless you have a test-plex or a 3rd party product, Naviquest will give you a safe way to test your code chang

Using DFP segments can make the ACS routines very simple. When a file is defined in Racf, you add the SMS Management Class and the SMS Storage Class and in the ACS routine you add code that says, if the DFP Management class segment is coded, use it. If the DFP Storage class segment is coded, use it

We have a rather "fragile" SMS environment at present. It has basically grown "ad hoc" over the course of almost 2 decades. I really need to document it very well. Once documented, I would like to use that in order to reengineer the environment. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. -- Jo
