One of my consulting gigs many years ago was really a RACF admin and I created model definitions for all the different job functions so after I left all someone had to due was basically go into a PDS member for the job function and change xxxxxxx to the userid. I also created some cleanup programs in REXX. I think one is on my web site / CBT (for deleting unused userids and cleaning up their data sets). However in a huge shop this is more of a problem. For example one of my clients adds / changes / deletes hundreds or maybe even thousands of userids in a week. But they provision userids using software that interfaces with RACF (they are in the process from switching to a new product for this as well). Usually sysprog IDs are defined manually by the RACF team. I'm just surprised that RACF has never added a feature for this yet after all these years. Maybe Walt can comment if he is lurking. -- Mark Zelden - Zelden Consulting Services - z/OS, OS/390 and MVS ITIL v3 Foundation Certified mailto:m...@mzelden.com Mark's MVS Utilities: http://www.mzelden.com/mvsutil.html Systems Programming expert at http://search390.techtarget.com/ateExperts/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
