I just installed a new program and one of the instructions states to run the code in a particular library as APF authorized. I'm sort of confused about this. Is it o.k. to just add this library to the PROG00 member and then use some sort of SETSYS command to refresh PROG00? A parameter feed to this program at start up is supposed to tell the program to run APF authorized and I think it might have been linked edited with a parameter of 0. Does this force the need to be APF authorize? I started the program and it did come up but there isn't current work to feed to it so I can't tell anything else. Thanks. ====================================================== For testing APF programs, I would suggest using the operator command "SETPROG APF,ADD,DSN=data_set_name,VOL=volume" (assuming you are set up for dynamic APF libraries). The APF indicator goes away on the next IPL. When you are satisfied with the testing, then you can make permanent changes to your parmlib. When you say "parameter of 0" I think you are talking about the binder parameter AC(0). If the program runs as a job-step task, then it needs AC(1). If it is not a job-step task, then it needs AC(0). Authorized programs should be reentrant (I'd like to know the reasons for a non-reentrant authorized programs -- eek!). Jeffrey D.
