Please do not write a check pretending to be someone else. IBM owns the IBMRACF checks. If you want to write a check that does something to meet your needs, then by all means do so, but name it accordingly.
As to what you check, or what interfaces you use to accomplish that, that is up to you. You can use any facilities made available through system REXX. I will not comment on how RACF accomplishes the check in question (in part because I don't know, but just as important because I have no idea if there are programming interfaces available to do what it does). If you think the check should behave differently, please consider sharing your thoughts with the RACF team so that they can consider a change or an enhancement.
