PROTECTED says that you cannot use USER= & PASSWORD= on the job card to assign the RACF id. RACF will simply not allow it. The attempt fails with a RACF error. SURROGAT says that the scheduler can specify USER= without PASSWORD= to run a job with the specified (authorized) RACF id. This is what we do with CA-7 scheduling. Of course, you still need the submit exit for non-PROTECTED ids which a person may know the password to. And it is easy to bypass: //MYIDA JOB //SUBMIT EXEC PGM=IEBGENER //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD DUMMY //SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(*,INTRDR) //SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=some.pds(member) some.pds(member): //OTHERID JOB USER=otherid,PASSWORD=password //* THE REST OF THE JOB //* ... // -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
