Scott, You have reason about you said. We don't have here REXX COMPILER. What I can do, and is may be easy, a litte Assembler program that verify this part of my program. Then, put in the register 15, a bad or good return code to the EXEC. But, Scott, We need also trust people to be good trade professionals. How this a EXEC from compile programs, We can compare a output from a LIBR with cms files, and verify if all is correct. Thanks again, and Best Regards, Sergio

You'll never be able to stop people from copying files to their A disk - and making modifications - including removing any checks you make for an X disk, etc. Users can do an EXECDROP or EXECLOAD on their own - there's not many good ways to stop a determined user from shooting themselves in the foot if they want to. Sergio - maybe the best answer to solve the root problem is to compile the REXX code? People could still have old copies of CATAA .. but at least if it's compiled, they can't make changes to the current code.

Look into CP QUERY MDISK to verify that the disk accessed as X is MAINT 31A. -Mike From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Sergio Lima Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2010 5:17 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: REXX that verify what MINIDISK is a file Hello Mike, Thanks very much from your good explanation. We need that the user execute our EXEC from a public dasd (Maint 31a), because, We try track who executed this, the date, the time, and another thinks, like Filename, Filetype, Filemode. This EXEC do a Compilation of programs here, and now, the people here, want have a little control about what was compiled, and others thinks.

About 98% of the time I do that is when running a common 'PROFCMS EXEC' in everybody's "PROFILE EXEC" - the "PROFCMS EXEC" complains when it is not executing from the Y-disk (or the our HAINST alternative to IBM's CMSINST NSS). Also, a common "PROFILE XEDIT" complains of the same results (after it does some preliminary setup, it attempts to execute the user's "userid XEDIT" macro). But if you really need to execute an exec from a specific disk, from my 20 July 2009 post here: Check out Kent Fiala's "DIREXEC" on the IBM VM Download page: http://www.vm.ibm.com/download/packages/descript.cgi?DIREXEC That DIREXEC VMARC package should do exactly what you wish, and explains that the included FMEXEC is syntactically easier to use for minidisk files. But before you do that, please help us understand why you would want to do so. There may be much better solutions yo meet your need.
