Thanks. This I found also after some nice RTFM. We don't use any exits sofar to limit usage of BLP and NL. >Note: If you have DITTO or File Manager and it is running APF-authorized, and you have READ access to FACILITY class resource DITTO.TAPE.BLP or FILEM.TAPE.BLP respectively, you can submit BLP jobs using these utilities in any JOBCLASS. It overrides JOBCLASS BLP=NO. Thanks for that lesson about overriding. I've learned something new. Thanks Robert! >The authorization check for FACILITY class resource ICHBLP is made in addition to JES, DITTO, or FILEM allowing using of BLP. We use RACF profiles, JES2 JOBCLASS statements and when needed/used, DITTO, to limit usage of BLP and NL. As discussed in this thread, we don't limit (so far) usage of specific drives to be used for BLP. Thanks Robert. This thread and your replies was very useful for me!
