With them you can pre-define settings to be used in certain situations (esp. audit) and activate them all in a single SETEVENT REFRESH command. (It's analagous to a SETROPTS CLASSACT REFRESH for a RACLISTed class.) You can also have USERSEL.userid VMXEVENT profiles that will let you establish the control and audit settings for a particular user. RACF control of VSWITCH authorizations is managed by profiles in the VMLAN class. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
