Bruce,

Is my modify command "adding" class S to FORCE and SHUTDOWN?  I thought it was 
to *replace* class A with class S.  What am I missing?

>From SYSTEM CONFIG file:
MODIFY COMMAND SHUTDOWN PRIVCLASS S            
MODIFY COMMAND FORCE    PRIVCLASS S                                      

Output from CMDTABLE
FORCE                             IBMCLASS=A  PRIVCLASS=S
SHUTDOWN                          IBMCLASS=A  PRIVCLASS=S

Logon as OPERATOR

I'm not sure....   Enter Q COMMANDS FORCE on OPERATOR to see if it is
allowed to issue the FORCE command, and if so, what priv class is
allowing it to do it.
