This is fine, if what you want is to determine the primary security
system. But both TSS and ACF2 have compatibility modes, and you could
find yourself in a situation where RACF *and* one of the other systems
are running, and willing to accept calls using that security system's
own interface, rather than SAF.

In that case, ACF2 (and I *think* TSS) has its own macro for finding
the security system's anchor, even if the RCVT says "RCVT".
