According to sources at IBM: "The security environment that you get when AXREXX is invoked under a console that is not logged on lacks an OMVS segment so you need to logon w/ a userid that is properly defined."
So if you want to create a SYSREXX command and want the operators to be able to issue the command from the console, the console may have to be logged on depending if it requires an OMVS segment. In this case, I was creating a SYSREXX to UNMOUNT an HFS file via command from the console.

Here are my AXR00 parms: CPF('RX',SYSTEM) AXRUSER(AXRUSER) REXXLIB ADD DSN(SYS1.SAXREXEC) We setup the AXR, AXR01-08 STC and the AXRUSER with the appropriate SURROGAT as documented. My challenge is that I have a very simple REXX in SYS1.SAXREXEC. I want it to be run with the AXRUSER Userid. When I invoke it from SDSF via /RX my-rexx it has my Userid. When I do it from a console that is logged on I get the console Userid and when I issue it from a console that is not logged on I get USERID() = *. I chatted with a friend in Europe and he said his comes back with the Userid of the STC. Except for my Europeans friends results, it seems to me that any REXX that is invoked via the F AXR or cpf is invoked with SECURITY=BYUTOKEN. Any and all help is as always greatly appreciated.
