Hi Liz,
Our CA-Dispatch is not defined in the ACT. Never has been, and has been
working like this for over 16 years. Our users are not permitted to use the

command. ACF2 provides the users with access to the PROFILE for CA-
Dispatch. Our ACL is similar to yours;

Hi Liz,
We have never had Dispatch defined in our ACT. We only have a profile
definition for Dispatch to supply the ACB name. Each user is granted access to
the profile via ACF2 and most all users are not allowed to to use a "/A"
command.
Our ACL is very simple and looks a bit like yours.
That is something I will work towards.
I just found out that TPX V5.2 (just out) will allow batch updating to the ACT
table.

You should normally add all of your applid's to the TPX ACT table. There are
