Re: RMDS

Thanks Koluso and Lizette Ive gone through the manuals already and cant seem to find what I need. We are z/OS 1.13, RMDS is 2.3 (this hasn't changed in eons) and ACF2 is V15. This is the problem which we just recently discovered after decades: The RMDS administrator does set up something

Re: RMDS

Way back machine started. Once upon a time we ran RMDS with ACF2. ACF2 versions woulda been like 6 and 8. I have no idea anymore what RMDS version we had. There were exits in RMDS that we utilized with ACF2. They would take the report name ( the one you see when you're in RMDS, not the data

Re: RMDS

HI Brian Thanks. This , this is a very old product. Even IBM is not able to offer much advice. We have an exit that just covers sign on. I would like to perhaps just disable that RMDS command - ERASE - completely for either all or most users. Within RMDS even, not ACF2. The RMDS

lines. Otherwise allow the command. I am surprised IBM does not have sample exits that you could work with. I do not remember if the panels were part of RMDS or if they were ISPF Panels invoked by RMDS. If they are ISPF Panels you might be able to put something in the panel process to trap ERASE

Administration Guide Version 2 Release 3 Document Number S544-5395-00 Note: The RMDS default is to define report owners as having UPDATE authority, but system options are available to allow you to specify what access should be used to define report owners (AUTHOWNR) and to define the authority to issue

Also, I couldn't figure out what the RMDS definitions for ALTER and UPDATE are. The description for AUTHOWNR in the manual is like the description for AUTHERAS AUTHOWNR | A|ALTER | Specifies the authorization level required| | | U|UPDATE| for a report owner

Re: RMDS

have not used RMDS in over 15 years. So I am really fuzzy on how it works. And I am not sure why IBM cannot help. I do not know it the product is off support or not. Has your management started discussions on moving to a better supported product? Lizette -Original Message- From: IBM
