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.

Hi everyone,

I am attempting to use DITTO to inspect a tape volume (J53277) using 
LABEL=(,BLP).
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.

Jason Cai
