Hi Carlos, Rick is correct, you need to have ALTER for the dataset to run the define. If you are trying to define the high level qualifier, you must have RACF access to the master catalogue. Additionally, in most shops these days, RACF is setup not to allow 'unprotected resources' to be defined. A RACF dataset profile must exist first before the definecan run. A quick and easy way to check - without needing to know or run any RACF commands - is to attempt to rename a test dataset to the dataset name you are trying to work with. TSO 3.4 panel is what I use. If you have a RACF issue, the rename will fail and you should give some helpful messages.
