Thanks Alan. BTW, the floor system at our Hot Site does not have RACF nor for that matter any other ESM. You can in fact run z/OS without an ESM.
I just waited for our system to be IPLed which does have RACF and the appropriate profiles defined to use the ADMIN keyword. Thanks again for the help.

The DFSMSdss manual says that to use the ADMINISTRATOR keyword, all of the following must be true: o FACILITY class is active. o Applicable FACILITY class profile is defined. o You have READ access to that profile. So while the hotsite may not have RACF, it has something else (ACF2, Top Secret, ...), cuz you can't run z/OS without an ESM! The other ESMs manage classes and profiles, just like RACF does.
