http://www.sinenomine.net/vm/fsiucv has many helpful facts about the driver
and a few handy examples. Only works under VM, though.

Well, RACROUTE would go via the VM external security manager interfaces to
RACF (if RACF is your ESM), and if RACF/VM is configured to consult a shared
database with RACF on z/OS, then you'd end up with the same effect.

I don't think RACF on z/OS plugs into the VM ESM interface at all, even if
it is running as a VM guest (which is too bad -- it'd be a nice feature).
VSE may be a different story -- they're a lot more pragmatic about VM
support than the z/OS guys are.
