You made me thinking, but I was sure there is a difference between the different operations wiht respect to APF authorization requirement. So I just tried two examples. While IEBCOPY happily copied members from PDSE to PDSE even if running unauthorized, it refused to do an UNLOAD operation on the same source dsn. You get the IEB1099I *** IEBCOPY IS NOT APF AUTHORIZED *** message in both cases, indeed (I didn't know), but obviously, it is more of an information. The actual operation determines if APF auth is really required or not. -- Peter Hunkeler Credit Suisse ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
