Roughly right, Rick. He doesn't really care about & (for which RACF uses x'FA' in the general case). For % we use often use x'FB' and for * we often use x'FC'. There are some subtle fine points that can change those values a little, but he probably doesn't need to worry about them. -- Walt Farrell, CISSP IBM STSM, z/OS Security Design ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
