Since you are coding BLP, you might try coding a DSN= on the DD that you know you have access to. You are failing on dataset class.

The job fails with a 913-38 security violation, and RACF reports "INSUFFICIENT ACCESS AUTHORITY" for the specific volume. My JCL: //EVL JOB (ACCT),'ESV LIST' //DITEVL EXEC PGM=DITTO //STEPLIB DD DSN=YOUR.DITTO.LOADLIB,DISP=SHR //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //TAPE DD UNIT=3590L,VOL=SER=J53277,DISP=SHR,LABEL=(,BLP) //SYSIN DD * $$DITTO EVL INPUT=TAPE,LABEL=BLP $$DITTO EOJ The Error Output: ICH408I USER(PRDSUP2 ) GROUP(#USER) NAME(HEZIXIAN171103 ) 714 SYS26029.T164804.RA000.DITTO2.R0127153 CL(DATASET ) VOL(J53277) INSUFFICIENT ACCESS AUTHORITY ACCESS INTENT(READ ) ACCESS ALLOWED(NONE ) IEC518I SOFTWARE ERRSTAT: RACFPROT D114,J53277,,DITTO2,DITTO1 IEC150I 913-38, IFG0194F,DITTO2,DITTO1,TAPI1,D114,, 717 My Question: Q1 How to solve this issue? Q2 Why is there no profile for **CL(DATASET)**, but **VOL(J53277)** is shown? How do I define a profile for this class? Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
