Actually, you can, but the unauthorized code can't run while the authorized code is running and the unauthorized code can only invoke the authorized code that IBM or the installation allows. Think TSO,

The jobstep is either authorized or it is not (in the scenarios you describe below). There is no (supported, official, "z/OS") way to transition from non-authorized to authorized. You cannot "become authorized" except at jobstep initiation time.

Im sure there is an Integrity exposure with these scenarios. 1)Can a Problem Program (Key 8) attach a Surtask that is authorized ? . 2)Can a Problem Program attach a subtask (with the DCB parameter) that is authorized ? The dcb is not in the steplib concatenation. . 3)Can a Problem Program invoke a Non Space Switching PC routine to Attach a Subtask that is Authorized ? . Im sure there is an Integrity exposure - could someone comment on the above. . .
