Validation of a resource name,

Hi list, Thanks to all who responded. The purpose of the Javascript is to give as much feed-back to the user as possible before sending it to zOS, who will repeat the validations and a lot more for the dynamic CDT and ICHRRCDE user defined classes. Uppercase ALPHANUM is not checked because RACF

But LASTCC applies only to the instruction that is being checked. As soon as a new instruction is issued (or a higher level nested instruction completes), LASTCC becomes the CC of this instruction. E.g. Consider the following: IF 1 EQ 1 DO SET LASTCC EQ 8 END The LASTCC following the above

Radislaw Skorupka's "alphanumeric" characters limitation for resource names is correct as IBM uses the barbarous word 'alphameric'. It includes majuscules, numerics, and the four extender characters, @, #, $, and _. (The first three of these are sometimes also called 'national cvharacters', so th

Re: Problem Using XMITIP

George, Here's a guess - it looks to me like this section of code is being executed: if from_center = center then from_default = uid||AtSignC||center"."domain The variable "domain" has not been assigned a value, so the value is 'DOMAIN' and "center" has been assigned the value "PAL6".

Jan, Your applications should use resource names, not profile names. Resource is discrete "by definition", example: MVS.CANCEL.TSU.W* - a profile (with generic) MVS.CANCEL.TSU.WILLSMIT - a resource. Regarding your application: simply use alphanumerics as allowed characters. Usually application (

Re: ISPF Storage Protection

The problem is not, or not only, that of elevating the authority of a 'caller'. It is frequently necessary to depress authority, and it is therefore necessary to elevate it too in order to restore the status quo ante. Worse, it is possible to do things with SRBs that cross address-space boundaries

Instead of adding function codes to the SVC to allow setting and resetting of the JSCBAUTH bit, add function codes to the SVC to perform the code that requires authorization. As others have mentioned, this type of "magic" SVC destroys any concept of system integrity. ==
