Okay, my RACF is a little rusty, but isn't there a difference between a profile define as 'GIM.*' and one defined as 'GIM.**'? The IBM APAR advises to rdefine GIM.* (and echoed by Mark Z), but JC and Ed Jaffe are advising GIM.**.

For your kind of shop that's probably entirely appropriate. We defined GIM.** with UACC(NONE) and permitted our sysprog group to it with READ. It will probably stay that way until somebody figures out exactly what the risk is or was (or somebody "in the know" spills all the beans). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
