I am the security people. And no, I haven't. I do have a vague GUESS as
to what is happening. I will almost bet that somebody has some COBOL
code like:

PERFORM UNTIL X
  OPEN INPUT FILE
  READ FILE
  PERFORM PROCESS-FILE-RECORD
  CLOSE FILE
END-PERFORM

I am fairly sure that every OPEN will cut an RACF ACCESS record. Yes,
I've seen them do this in the past. Just not as bad. But this is just a
GUESS.
