Looks like it's time for me to do an RCF. According to: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/iea2e270/41.0
"As of MVS Version 4.3, it is no longer necessary for the data sets in the LPALST to be APF-authorized." and according to http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/iea2e270/67.4.5 "SYS1.LINKLIB in the LNKLST concatenation is APF-authorized by default." *** It looks to me as if one should ONLY authorize the compiler IF - You want it in LNKLST and - you specify LNKAUTH=APFTAB *** Someone who actually has ADCD or other "software" setting the COBOL compiler to APF authorized, might want to create a PMR to get the SOFTWARE changed.
