You want FASTAUTH. And RACLIST'ed classes. A RACLIST'ed class is pulled into a data space and does no I/O to the RACF database. Also, an authorized routine can do a RACROUTE REQUEST=LIST to dynamically build in-storage profiles for a specific class(es). CICS does this. Granted, this is still overhead, but significantly less that that which requires a RACF database I/O. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
